Racism in our favourite drinking spots!! Waxy's and Jimmy dix don't fare to well. This is a new newspaper that isn't shy about what it prints, and amazingly it is part of the gulf news group. Where is the moonwalking naked man for his comments!

Re: Racism in Dubai nightspots!
What's the reasoning behind these door policies? Maybe I'm a little naive still but I would have thought it's not like say England in the 60s where 'they' were not always welcomed by 'all'... is it that brown people are considered less likely to spend as much money as whites? Or do the bouncers like the power and the buzz of having people beg them to be allowed to spend their money?

Re: Racism in Dubai nightspots!
However the perception is that the Asian guys and gals don't drink much (at least when compared to a UK/Aus/SA citizen) so there's not as much cash to be made from them, and then there's the fact that they'll buy 1 drink (coke) and keep it all night.
That's one of the reasons (according to a bar manager I know)
