Racist is racist...
Even asking if it is racist, is in itself, a racist comment...

Which brings me back to my earlier question from a week or two back......

"Is it racist to call another race racist?"

Discuss.

You have two hours. Write clearly and legibly. Write on one side of the paper only.

It's quite clearly a false syllogism..... no discussion needed.

Without fear of upsetting someone, went to a place other night they waved me and a couple of other lads straight in, some gentlemen behind us of different nationality had to pay, that was not nice!

Will they refund people who have paid their membership btw???

Happens all over Dubai...I was asked my nationality once by a bouncer in some crap hole in Karama or wherever...no doubt because he couldn't figure out why I had a rather convincing Queen's English accent but didn't have blue eyes or blonde hair (he was Indian btw - and they are apparently experts in determiningg ethnic groups for their apartheid door policies being so well travelled and all)...I made a very big scene after that and refused to go in once he decided he needed his job more than his ego.

That's pretty normal.

I think Rock Bottom is notorious for it.

Asians being allowed into bars is a recent thing in Dubai :( if you were a British Asian you had to take your passport with you. what amazed me was when I used to say to friends, gosh there are no Asians in here, they never even noticed!!!
