I thought there was a law which allows owners of restaurants to refuse to serve people they don't want to.

you have the right as the manager of an establishment to refuse service to an individual, but you better have a good reason. no, its not his right to racially discriminate....sorry....try again.

you can refuse service to an individual based on individual reasons.
be it 'no shoes, no shirt, no service' or things of the like. you cannot base such a rule on someone's place of origin. that is not his right.

i meant 'good reason' because people refused can play the race card and get the manager in trouble. really, you can just basically say "im not going to serve you because...i just dont like you" thats his right as well.

he cannot however make a general policy based on racism.
no effin way

well obviously not, but if french people enter his restaurant he could say "Hey I don't like you, so leave." right?

"I'm not serving you because your Black...

Spoiler:
soled shoes are going to screw up my white tile

Owning a restaurant would be so fun!

i guess so.....if the authorities catch on and realise its racial discrimination....who knows.

How is not liking someone a good reason to refuse service?

it isnt a good reason.
thats not the point.
the point is that its legal.

its illegal however (except in norway so we've learned from finti)
to discriminate based on race.

I find that rather odd, anywho that's off topic.

i agree...but you got pathetic and childish again and jumped the gun...accusing me of thinking that i am genetically different and superior to people of other skin colour

ironically enough i hadn't even given an opinion...i just asked a question whether the French and the Germans could be considered a "race" as you would think that would be the basis of a person being convicted of being a racist

was he even saying "i'm not serving you because you're french/german" or was he saying "i'm not serving you because of your countries politics"

in which case if it is the later then its something that happens on a nationwide scale all the time....countries refuse to trade with other countries because of political actions...you don't see many people getting prosecuted for racism in those circumstances do you?

I'm just surprise this is a Danish citizen supporting Bush! Who woulda have thought? Is his business and he can refuse service to anyone. Is it bad business to refuse customers? Yes, but then again is his business.

Its worse ; this guy targets foreign customers....and delivers a dent in the danish tourism industry with his bias policy.

no actually you implied that white people cannot be distinguished from eachother under the category of 'race' whereas white/asia/black/latino can.
i wasnt calling you a racist, just so you know who was jumping the gun. if not, then what does racism mean? if i am wrong in my assumption then you feel the term 'race' that we use to describe nationality is incorrect (which is true imo) then give another word for it and we'll fill in the blank: _______ discrimination.

which begs the question, what do you consider a 'race' to be? not rhetorical but an honest question.

doesnt matter. its _________ discrimination because its based on where they are from rather than their identity as an individual. what if he/she was an avid bush supporter? wouldnt matter anyhow if they were french or german. therefore, the basis of that discrimination is on their nationality and NOT their political standing. so politics, like i said before, is just circumstantial.

that is a case of government sanctions, not discrimination of an individual.
in america, i cant legally buy cigars from cuba, but i will get in serious trouble if i open a restaurant and hang a sign which says "no cubans allowed"

Listen to me it won't get better till they are all jailed someone said oh! come on they are christian people well let me tell you I'm a christian and I don't believe in mass slughter of our troops so tell me something where is it fare they still are in office????

...you totally lost me.

perhaps punctuation is in order?

i didnt imply anything of the sort...i didnt even mention latinos/blacks/asians at all

which begs the question, what do you consider a 'race' to be? not rhetorical but an honest question.

how about "the human race"

that is a case of government sanctions, not discrimination of an individual.

so what if he reworded his policy to "i impose sactions upon France and Germany by not trading my goods for their cash"

besides when governments impose sanctions on one another...who suffers?...individual farmers/ producers etc...

the government suffers merely as a side effect of collecting less through taxation...but this is off topic anyway

regardless...i think as a political statement, it was a bit feeble...

on a side note...in the UK...a resaurant that is liscenced to sell alcohol can refuse to serve anyone without any reason simply because it has an alcohol liscence....i dont know if its the same in Denmark though

lastly...i posted this topic because i knew it would get some much needed debate going...and it has...you may continue

😉

Good job resteraunt owner.

you still havent filled in the blank

_______ discrimination (place of origin/ethnic background/religious background) is illegal(whatever you call it)

This would have happened in Canada easily. Not jailed though. Likely be sued.
