I don't think that the issue is Calgary being racist. The issue is are the actions of the clubs, which appear to be owned by a select few, are racist. The clubs might be racist but since they're being directed by only a few people, it doesn't make the city racist.

Yes, racism is an issue in Calgary but I don't see any proof that it's more of an issue than any other Canadian city especially when the Global reports did an awful job of showing both sides of the story.

Growing up in a similiar sized city in Ottawa, I've never heard of racist door policies at nightclubs here. Mind you, on the other side of the river when the Hull strip was strong (almost 15 years ago ) I've seen and heard about things that were either racist (bouncers getting into fights with a minority) or bigoted (police dealing with Anglophones).
