You can argue all you want Manic. I'm not racist and trying to single these ethnicities out but any doorman in this region is going to tell you the same thing. That's why the unofficial policies that got the doorman in the OP in trouble exist. He's exceptionally stupid for making it so black and white if he really did say what is being quoted, but as has been proven in this thread noone is surprised. Not even other South Asian men.
Vic is the exception on the Island. Cambell River, courtenay, Parksville all have a lot of fights. Parksville had one club and it got closed down becase there were fights every weekend. One person got jumped and beat up so bad he died. Funny you will never see white people get banned from a club no matter how much trouble they cause.

I remember going down to Victoria a few years back and been tailed by the Victoria police the 2 days we were in Victoria. We were even told by a cop that "your kind isn't welcomed here", and two of my friends got thrown into the drunk thank but one of them was completely sober. We made a report, some cop called back and got more information but nothing came out of it but it was the worst experience ever and I've never been back to the island since. That been said, we didn't have any issues getting into the clubs.

I remember when I went clubbing at Victoria in 07. My younger sister just graduated from Uvic and her friends went clubbing that night. The boyfriend (who happens to be EI) of one of the classmates approached me saying one of the patrons wanted to start a fight with him and told him something along the lines of "not wanting his kind in Victoria". The guy was just chilling and minding his own business too. Hell, I was just chilling there making sure my sis got home safe. In the end of the night, I'm glad nothing happened.

The thing is as parm104 pointed out, JD, that you have been dealing with the SAME group of people..


i for one RARELY go down town, last time was during the olympics for the obvious reason....

and all the fights i saw dt were drunk white guys, so with seeing that is it safe to say that all you white guys can't hold your liquor and get in stupid fights in middle of the street?

I find it's the brown guys who are more likely to act/think they are black just because they have darker skin tone than the rest of vancouver.

I find it hard to believe that people here don't feel that there aren't just as many tough guy wannabe whites as there are browns. As if there aren't as many gangsters asians as there are brown.

HA! Pretty amusing how you instantly assume "gangster" as being "black."

I guess white guys who tan are just trying to be gangster then since they're a shade closer to black.

i bet they were banned for there actions not there skin color.
I bet a bouncers never said "Sorry you can't come in we have reached the maximum number of white people we are allowing in tonight".

No we don't let in people if they dress sketchy as fuck, act douchey regardless of skin colour.

Don't reach Manic.

Also for those that are attacking the bouncers. Think about Plaza club and what happened.

Kev
Did I really just agree to that?! Mind = blown.

On another note, even in my own circle of friends there are those that get aggressive when they drink and those that don't. We try to pace the aggressive guys if we do decide to head out with them. At the same time the rest of us will make a conscious effort to stay within our limits in case the others need to be controlled. Nice guys otherwise but they really shouldn't be drinking. This has allowed us to avoid some close calls.

Now when you get a group without anyone making an effort to keep things civilized things get wild. I can see why bouncers have a hard time differentiating between the two.

I use to bounce part time back in the late 90's at Celebrities,even back then we were told not to let certain ethnic groups into the club.....or certain gay patrons.

....ah I miss those days,so much fun working there.
