Is this racism?
Let's say, some store put up a sign.....
Store A: Offer 20% Discount to Chinese (list price $100)
Store B: Non Chinese is subject to 25% surcharge (list price $80)
Store C: Offer 20% discount to non Chinese (list price $100)
Store D: Chinese is subject for 25% surcharge (list price $80)
Which store will most likely get nailed by the politically correctness gang on RFD?

Jun 24th, 2005 09:51 PM #6How about all four, because no store is offering discounts/surcharge that's not based on race?

i remember that amusement park in hong kong had a special offer a few years ago that infuriated. they let only people with "Cheung" as their last names enter for free. all the other people had to pay full price.

Store C and D are not realistic because it doesn't exist.
The closest you'l get to this type of "in your face" discrimination is in chinese restaurants where you have all the best deals written in Chinese and the not-so-great deals in the english menu so that people like me get f*cked over LOL_______________
