peaceonearth Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Has anyone else been turned away from EXIT or any other niteclub based on their ethnicity? Is that legal? This past Saturday, the door staff refused to let Asians in based solely on their race. We were on line and heard the doorman say, "We're not letting in any more Asians inside, there's enough of you's in there."He went on to explain there were cops inside and the club doesn't want to get shut down because Asian guys were dealing inside. Would that mean if a white person was caught dealing inside, that the club would ban all white people from going inside?!?Now i've been at EXIT almost weekly and to experience this is a real shame. You would think that in 2001, people would be more respectful of different cultures. Could anyone tell me if there are laws out there that prohibit clubs from doing this?Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitty19 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 i am not surprised. i admit, asians roll into clubs hooked up with the most money, the most drugs, the most everything, so i could see why there could be drama surrounding asians. however, WTF? just b/c a few asians cause mad drama, that doesn't mean all asians will. shit, you see all the muscleheads starting beef, but are ALL the muscleheads not allowed to get into a club? this is just plain stupidity and ignorance.i must say, the same goes for twilo. i always see asian kids getting kicked off the line. i always get paranoid, but eh-- hasn't happened yet. you know, i could just see the asian-bashers on this board LOVING this thread. go ahead, start cheering you fuckin imbeciles.------------------*kitty19**turn it around baby* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodi Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Thats pretty fucked up that Exit is being selective due to race. I'm not Asia, but its fucking 2001! I don't think that fact that your Asian, a musclehead, etc indiactes that your automatically gonna cause trouble inside the club. Its your personailty not your race.People forget that this is how the Holocaust started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why - I wouldn't be surprised if ANY club is selective upon race. Hey, peaceonearth - next time take a tape recorder. If you tape anyhting like that...you can probably sue their asses. Or at the very least give it to the media and fuck them up! Grrrr...fuckin racial discrimination in this day and age.

paranoidandroid Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 doesn't sound like drama to me - not sure why you think so risa? almost the only people i see turned away at twilo are asian so i'd be inclined to say there's racism there too. it's too bad it's so endemic in nyc.------------------* i love sex always and forever *and they tell me that women grow on treesand if you catch them right they will land upon their knees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

translucent Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Originally posted by peaceonearth:...Could anyone tell me if there are laws out there that prohibit clubs from doing this?PeaceAlthough I'm not a lawyer...I doubt it. Because Exit is a private establishment, they can keep anyone out based on any criteria (i.e. race, physical appearance, clothes).

This is no different than the Palm Beach Country Club not letting Jews become members.Amm, yea...They definetely cannot do that. Private establishments can keep people out, but not based on race, gender, etc. Thats definetely illegal, and thats why no Country club has something like that as their official policy (BTW: Palm Beach is the one place that has plenty of Jews in their Country club/that entire area is very jewish). Exit can turn people away at the door, and they do just as all clubs, but not for being asian, gay, etc., that's discrimination and they can get sued for that(although I think Exit is so connected they are almost untouchable). It is fucked up that they did that, especially because asians have become a landmark in Exit right by the vip/tables area on the main floor.

mysteriousss Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 What about Twilo? I heard that on Saturdays, sometimes Junior tells the bouncers not to let any more girls in.. He only wants boys in there? That's pretty fucked up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
translucent Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Originally posted by nycetouch: ...(BTW: Palm Beach is the one place that has plenty of Jews in their Country club/that entire area is very jewish)... LOL! I agree that Palm Beach has plenty of Jews in their country clubs...I'm referring to "The Palm Beach Country Club" which has a long standing policy of ONLY allowing Gentiles to join. Ask about it on the Miami board if you don't believe me.------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxyroxy20 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 well it goes both ways, they dont let certain races in , just like they dont let girls in , too many ,or guys in too many. Clubs have to have certain ratios in, yeah its not fair, but the whole damn world isnt fair, too much racist, greed, etc. ------------------aim: amafrk1amafrk1@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaceonearth Posted January 11 Author Report Share Posted January 11 Here's the skinny, first off, my post was not intended to induce drama on the board...heaven knows we all have much better things to do. Yes this was my first post. I never bothered posting b4 simply because i never wanted to contribute to all the drama in the first place.What i said in my initial statement was true, not hearsay, not speculation,not BS. I'm not secretly plotting to shut down EXIT or any club for that matter. As i stated b4, i've been there many times, dressed properly, no jeans, no boots, i know the routine. If the doorstaff is practicing racial profiling based on the Asians=Drugs theory, then most Asians would be getting kicked out when being searched. We all get searched thoroughly just like everyone else.I don't carry weapons or do drugs, never had a problem while searched.The purpose of this post was to voice my experience and raise awareness to the fact that this hatred and bigotry is being practiced at a nightclub, of all places...here in NYC, the most diverse city in the world! This should be alarming regardless of your ethnicity or religion. I welcome all the negative and positive comments made. Thats what sets the United States apart...Freedom.Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
