was I the victim if of racial....something?

Last weekend I went out to a karaoke restaurant in Dublin. We booked a private room. We were aware that there is a 50e an hour charge for the use of the room which we had no issues with. When we arrived we were shown to a table in the main restaurant. I called the waitress over and explained that we had booked the private room and wanted to eat in there.

She said there is no eating allowed in the private rooms, they are just for karaoke. Now ad I had been there before with other friends we were able to eat in the room. When I told her we had eaten there before, she asked me was I with an Asian person which I said I was and she replied that this was the reason as there is different rules(and menu) for Asian people so there was no chance we were allowed eat in the room unless she said we bring an Asian person the next time we go.

We decided then to just leave and go somewhere else. There wad mixed opinions in the group, mine was their restaurant their rules but a few other's were pretty out raged that we were treated like that.

Should we of made a fuss?

In other countries like Russia and Egypt, there are different prices for foreigners and locals which is fine but now it seems people can get discriminated like that in our own country.

God damn our round eyes.

Where was this?

Beat it, honky.

TeddyTedson · 12-06-2012 08:05PM

Sounds like you were most definitely raced:eek:

aaronjumper · 12-06-2012 08:05PM

Just bring an Asian person next time and you can eat wherever you want.

PrincessLola · 12-06-2012 08:06PM

Your post was hard to follow, could you maybe explain further and say where this was ?

smash · 12-06-2012 08:07PM

I heard that white people aren't allowed win in Asian casinos too.

Ps you should have pulled at the corner of your eyes... If they're allowed be racist then so are you!

the groutch · 12-06-2012 08:07PM

They probably feel threatened by our huge d*cks.

Pushtrak · 12-06-2012 08:07PM

Name and shame, OP. (Of the restaurant, obviously.)

Doc Ruby · 12-06-2012 08:08PM

This sounds a bit mad to me Ted. What was the name of the place?

Hande hoche! · 12-06-2012 08:08PM

Your story needs more kung fu.

Dr Turk Turkelton · 12-06-2012 08:08PM

Yes op that was completely racist against you.
Wonder how long before the bleeding heart do-gooders rush in to advise you!

Oh no just reread the post and your white so they won't give you any advise because you probably deserved it!

He went with a group one time, and was allowed eat in a private area because an asian person was with them. This time, there wasn't an asian person so they weren't allowed use of the private area.

Probably a gambling session going on in the private room

Those Asians do be mad for the gambling

'Ming' being the operative word when talking about some Asian food.

Great bunch of lads the (Chinese) Asians.

Almost had it but you need to phrase it in the present tense.

Leave it for now, you may have a slanted view of what happened

Tesco Massacre · 12-06-2012 08:14PM

Love a good sing-song do the Asians.

Takes their minds off the tentacle porn.

chughes · 12-06-2012 08:14PM

Maybe they remembered your singing from the last time and just thought of any old excuse not to let you in there.

My name is URL · 12-06-2012 08:14PM

It might be a bit racialist but it sounds innocent enough at the same time. House rules and all that. Saying that they don't allow eating in the private rooms is hardly racist.. maybe they changed the rules since you were there last? It's not as if they were denying you entry or service because of your race.

Nodin · 12-06-2012 08:15PM

Bit mental, tbh.

Good joke, always much funnier, though, if you spell it scarleh

grindle · 12-06-2012 08:20PM

Totally crazy, don't understand some people's reaction of "House Rules", etc.

Maybe we should get the blacks back to the cotton, and the gays to the seminary?

Fuck it... Women, we want your vote given back to us.
Ye're not doing anything sensible with them anyway, only feck-acting.

sweeney1971 · 12-06-2012 08:21PM

This attiude is just taking root in Ireland. It has taken over in the UK. If this happened in the UK and you dare to complain you will be branded a Racist, as only white people are considered Racist. Race Law's only work if you are accusing a white person as non white people are not racists according to the PC lot.

Did the OP not say that they would be allowed to eat had they 'brought their own asian'? Seems a bit nuts to me, and difficult to argue that it's not racist.

Jester252 · 12-06-2012 08:23PM

OP if your a white male you just have to take it

there is a different menu and price for chinnese in Dublin. a lot of Irish would not eat hens feet and the chinnese tend to earn less.
