You’d think with the horrible reputation China has around the world concerning human rights violations and the situation with Tibet, they’d be on their best behavior during the Olympics.
Well…. not quite.
Bar owners in the epicenter of the Olympic nightlife have been asked to sign pledges vowing not to serve Black or Mongolian patrons, by uniformed police.
Bar owners near the Workers’ Stadium in central Beijing say they have been forced by Public Security Bureau officials to sign pledges agreeing not to let black people enter their premises.
“Uniformed Public Security Bureau officers came into the bar recently and told me not to serve black people or Mongolians,” said the co-owner of a western-style bar, who asked not to be named.
I just hope there aren’t any acts of violence once black visitors are rejected when they just want to have a good time. I’m having visions of the opening scene in “Menace II Society”
