When the Asian guy isn't allowed in; it isn't because of discrimination. It is because of the sneakers.
Now when my white example guy then goes to club "B" and then club "C"; spending some time in each; whereas my Asian guy is told he can't come in to either because he doesn't meet the dress code; then that is discrimination.
Please, as I have said numerous times I do believe that this type of discrimination does exist. What I am trying to do is make sure we are clear as to what is happening. If the Global report says the club "A" is discriminating; they would be wrong. If they say "B" and "C" are then they would be right.
Or have you already made up your mind that because I am white I must automatically be a racist?

Its been proven throughout this thread numerous times that there is racial motivation at play here, in many cases. You can bring your ABC scenarios and formulas into it all you want, and claim to be wanting all of the facts, but the issue is pretty simple. Racism exists when it comes to Calgary nightclubs. You seem to be doing everything you can to dance around that conclusion.
