Bangkok: Hotel ban on Aids group raises rights debate

[HerbalEd]

 

 

 

I sympathise with them but then it should be the prerogative of a business owner to choose his customer base? They are a business, not charity. Society at large should be educated so that business owners are not forced to take such unfair decisions.

 

Right, like "no blacks or Christians allowed;" it's my right as a business owner.  Yea, right... give us a break.

 

 

There are a lot of bars in Thailand that are Japanese only. Farangs not allowed. (Blacks not allowed as well I guess but not mentioned).

 

 

 

You're right - lots of examples of racism in Thailand, in some cases not even necessarily just Thai vs. foreigner but even Japanese vs. other foreigners. I believe Thais normally are not allowed in these Japanese bars either.

 

Someone should expose this racism to the international news media (preferably secretly) so the owners can become embarrassed.
 

In China many businesses don't allow Japanese inside, at least during the anniversary of Japanese atrocities in September of every year when nationalist sentiment becomes very strong.

 

It's understandable given the mass slaughter of Chinese civilians by Japanese soldiers, and that Japanese government still to this day refuses to publicly recognize what was done and apologize.

Good idea from the hotel. Who'd want people running around their hotel putting HIV on everything and all.

 

I just hope your comment was just ironic , if you really think that then I feel pity for you .

 

I took his comment as dig against the hotel and I am sure he/she wasn't serious.  It was sarcasm and the hotel deserves it.

 

If indeed it was sarcasm, it's still stupid. Seems there are some on tv.com who like to post stupid things like this, being deliberately vague in order to get attention. It's symptomatic of someone who has very low self esteem.

 

Oh come on herb, lighten up just a touch.  Taking things so seriously is not good for anyone's health.  Life is so short and we may not wake up tomorrow.  My bucket list not be a grumpy old fat man.
