fourcorners Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/coolgardie-publican-apologises-for-barring-indigenous-people-from-hotel-20140305-346fv.html I saw this notice on facebook the other day, just could not believe it. And what was worse, the hundreds of comments on facebook agreeing with her and saying some pretty horrendous things. I got quite uncomfortable reading them. Racism is certainly alive and well! I'm glad she's apologised but she must have been pretty stupid to put that notice up in the first place. The Denver City is not the busiest pub in the world as it is, I expect far fewer patrons will be visiting in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flag of convenience Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Far from being the first time. I do recall a decade and a half back a couple were refused a room up those parts when they rocked up and it was discovered the male part was black. Turned out he was a Papuan and took it to court. Anyway it would appear the wheels of progress turn slowly in the state of excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
