On another note, do you believe that Virginia Tech should have a special medal detector for all Asian students, since, an Asian male (Seung-Hui Cho) killed over 30 students with his assault riffle? Why not judge all Asians who attend VA tech, by the actions of Seung-Hui Cho. Based on your logic, this seems like the fair thing to do.
You know if you're going to argue a point, at least get your facts straight. The va tech shooter used all handguns, no assault style weapons.
We had a thread going a few days ago about a black restaurant owner charging white people more for the same meal than other people. So, just why would this be any different? Actually, it's far less offensive, no one is actually punished as a result of their race-the owner is just taking steps to protect his/her livelihood.
While I did not comment on that thread, I did read the article. Did you?
You’re trying to make this complicated...it ain’t.
Bears aside, if you don’t pay upfront, then I ain’t paying upfront. But if you DO pay upfront, then I will too. All these parables and hypotheticals using carnivorous ursidae doesn’t interest me in the least.
Answer the question.. its pretty freakin simple ....
I don’t like the policy but I’ll eat there anyway. Intentionally. I’d put it at the top of my list.
I’ll even pay upfront...as long as you have to do the same. I wish this place was near me. I’d get the clique together and invade the place. We’d eat like savages.
My best friend is 6'3" and 200lb (very lean and mean guy). He can eat a lot of beef and the Chinese buffet restaurant owner was never happy when my best friend was there. My friend is white.
In my opinion, if your policy is "all you can eat", then that is "all you can eat".
Yep. And for every person who eats plateful after plateful, there is probably at least one who, like me, only ever choose buffets for the variety, rather than the quantity. A few bites of this, a few bites, of that, and a few bites of something else probably adds up to LESS food than I would get at a "regular" restaurant, because there is no taking home of leftovers at a buffet.
Generally speaking, I rarely eat at buffets for that reason, and Chinese buffets in particular, as Chinese food and steam tables are not really a very good combination. There is little in life that's worse than overcooked, limp stir-fry. I would much rather go to a nice place with a friend or two, and get a variety of dishes to share.
I think discrimination based on behavior and conduct is a good thing. It puts pressure on the group to change its ways.
To hold every single member of any group responsible for the actions of every other member of that group (or any other member, for that matter) is ridiculous. People are responsible for their own actions, and those of their minor children, and that is all.

Liberals only have that standard when it comes to profiling. On top of that liberals want to hold every single member of the other group(s) responsible for the actions of members of another group.

Well my point was directed to those in this thread and the black college students who are upset that some blacks are asked to pay for the buffet upfront, when they should be more upset at the blacks that skipped out on paying and caused the restaurant to fix that problem by asking high risk customers to pay before eating.
Why get mad at the Chinese restaurant that has lost money from blacks who ran out of the restaurant and not paying their bill? They are the real victim in this situation, not those black college students. And just maybe, if they are ever in a situation seeing other blacks thinking about skipping out on paying what they owe, they could speak up and tell them to do the right thing instead. Just tell the others that it's not cool or entertaining to steal from others.

I think they can refuse service to blacks if they don't feel comfortable.
But telling them that "you people steal" is definitely rude.
