turbans at the annex: serious business

[substitute]

Our local lame bar, Pierce Street Annex, has revised their policies to allow turbans in the bar, after a Sikh complained and asked for an apology

You still cannot wear your Ushanka hat to the Pancakes R Us across the street.

I've been to a lot of bars all over the country and the next time I see a sikh wearing a turban in one will be the first.

I also don't think black guys wear any more hats than white guys, at least not wherever I've lived/where I've gone.

That said, and all racial issues aside, I tend to frequent places that should have more of dress code if anything!

The "hats on black guys" thing is old-fashioned, but I think it still works in a lot of cities.

What I hear a lot is sports apparel...it's my understanding that a lot of that is because of gang issues however. I'd venture to guess that most of the places I go to with dress codes have larger demographics of people of color than the other places I go to.

Again though, most of the places I drink at frequently don't tend to discriminate on any basis whatsoever as long as you don't lay your head down upon the bar and go to sleep, and even then it's generally forgiven, so my view is somewhat limited.

c.f. DNA's pukey asian nights...

I was watching an AC/DC concert on VHI, circa 77/78 at a college in England, and the guy having the best time in the crowd was a Sikh, which earned a double take, followed by a WTF?, follwed by THAT'S AWESOME.

Pierce Street is not a meat market, it's a slaughterhouse.
