Re: Up the workers!!!
I hate that sort of thing...had that a few times in Dubai when I lived there and mixed groups of us would be out and the bouncers would try to stop anyone whose skin was darker than mediterranian tan and ask for ID, entrance fees or tell them the place was full etc etc...weird considering the bouncers were usually African and Indian. I suppose they are just following orders though, either way it's a shitty experience to witness.

Only it was a fat girl being discriminated against, all her fit blonde mates were allowed in while the Heather from Eastenders look alike was left out in the cold.
I think this is awful, what hope is there if there are no fat birds to pull at 3am?

I saw a program on telly the other day showing exactly this happening in the UK.

Those who have spent any time in the North of England will know that if the nightclub does operate this discriminatory policy, then the KFC down the road effectively replaces the nightclub as 'last chance saloon' for the gentleman who has had a less than successful night.

Re: Up the workers!!!
But there's a big difference for not being allowed into Stringfellows because you're a bit chubby and poorly dressed and not being allowed into an average bar or club because your have more or less melanin in your skin than others.
It's being stuck up and picky vs being racist and bigoted...personally being turned away for not wearing a tie won't rub me up the wrong way half as much as being turned away because my ancestors had too much or too little sunlight
