China Bans Black People From Bars Near Olympic Grounds

July 18, 2008 - 1:17 pm By COED Staff

Yeah, you read that right. Chinese authorities have secretly demanded bars deny service to black people and other “social undesirables” in bars surrounding the Olympic Games grounds in Beijing next month. Bar owners told were told by the Public Security Bureau that they are required to deny service to black people and Mongolians.

From South China Morning Post:

“Uniformed Public Security Bureau officers came into the bar recently and told me not to serve black people or Mongolians,” said the co-owner of a western-style bar, who asked not to be named.

The local authorities have been cracking down on blacks and Mongolians in an attempt to stamp out drug dealing and prostitution ahead of the Games, the proprietors said.

A few months ago, police launched a violent sting on black men drinking in the Sanlitun bar district, and a notorious nightclub largely populated by Mongolian prostitutes was also shut down.

This might sounds insane or like complete bullsh*t, but if you’ve ever been to China or spent time with enough people from China, you’d know that they are as racist as a Mississippi grandfather. Plus, it’s not like China’s exactly known for embracing human rights and fairness…That being said, remind us again why the f**k they’re hosting the “One World, One Dream” Olympics…

UPDATE: So a dude from BeijingBoyce.com says this story isn’t true, that the writer of the South China Moring Post story is full of sh*t; he talked to a few bar owners, and they said they hadn’t been contacted by any authorities making patron-limiting demands. But if it’s supposed to be a “secret” demand, then they would say that, wouldn’t they?…

the author of this is a ignorant cunt, a typical conservative american who is scared of the truth. no one likes them, everyone loves china. he can’t stand the fact that a non-white country is making huge progress in all aspects and has been rewarded with privelege of hosting the olympics. suck it up, you’ll be speaking chinese by the end of the month.

and to the owners of coedmagazine, screen your writers because writers like andrew from hunter college will get you in alot of trouble. suggest terminating his employment and sending him to gaza.

You two idiots are priceless. It is obviously you two who have never visited other countries. China is TERRIBLE. I could run down a laundry list of reasons why but I’d rather not explode the MySQL database of this webiste.

The ancient Culture of China is interesting and wonderful to get to see up close, but the modern government is a joke.

You realize people ‘like’ China because they throw their money to other countries to devalue their currency and have ‘potentiall’ the largest consumer market, yes? They only started ‘liking’ China once China opened a few cities up to be semi-free markets. Why else do you think no one gave a fuck about China until the last 15 years or so?
Crack a fucking book, retards.

@the article author: China is hosting the games because all countries are falling overthemselves trying to get their countries businesses in there since it would be the biggest consumer market on earth…if, and it’s a big IF, China ever opened itself up that way.

As it stands now, they cripple their currency intentionally so they can continue getting manufacturing jobs to satisfy a populace that makes about $2k a year. If China let true market forces decide the value of the Yuan it would be on par with the other major currencies on earth.

There is myriad other reasons but again, sql servers et al.
