Paris luxury hotel owner says his hotel will not be open to Chinese tourist

[Pakistanisage]

This is racism, pure and simple.

 

[Korean]

Racism 101. What these guys are saying is that its only for white people.

Well, he didn't say no Asian, only no Chinese, so Indian and Pakistani guests are OK.

Damn, must have cost you a fortune getting visas to enter all those countries with a Chinese passport.

My wife is a big shot in the industry so all the works are handled by her. I love the Americas and often ride motorcycles into the wilderness. Island hopping in the Caribbeans and getting lost in the Peruvian Andes in my backpack also are my favorites. I guess I'm a city boy who enjoys at least 3 months a year on the wild.

First, it's ,no mainland Chinese. And then no Chinese no matter the place of origin. And then no slanted eye orientals. This would include you, Korean. But I might be wrong as you might be an Indian with a Korean name. So you can check in.

Indians and Pakistanis will also face racism am sure, if they go. Even if they dont, its still racism. Denying people entry based on nationality or ethnicity is racism and wrong.

Its one company/group. Their loss in revenue. Equally wrong to generalize.

This is pure BS from "Korean" again. I just visited Paris last week and saw busloads of Chinese tourists in the most posh stores one can imagine. What the owner of that hotel said was that his little boutique hotel won't be able to cater to mass tourism and the Chinese are known to come in big groups. Individual Chinese visitors are welcomed anytime. The whole report was translated wrongly and misinterpreted. I hope Chinese tourists will keep coming to Europe and spend a lot of money. My city welcomes any tourists from China. We stage a huge festival every second year for our Chinese partners called China Time with over two hundred events.

You must've meant more than a decade ago, the Americans refused to call the french fries French's fries.

From my personal experience, French are the worst people in the world, Period.

This hotel owner must be mad. Tourist are good. They bring in money and also when they go back home, they will praise your hospitality. In BD we have loads of Chinese businessman and employees in different company. You are welcome to visit our country mate.

The hotel owner should have clearly stated it without specifying any nationality. It they dont want group tourists, then just say so.

Yeah why say anything anyway. If he wants he can always refuse when people come in big groups and give them appropriate reasons as to why they cant entertain them.

Japanese or Korean group tourists are OK. Just not Chinese.

Based on the earlier status of Chinese as indentured laborers, the government classified immigrants from Mainland China as "non-white", and therefore subject to numerous restrictions in residence, voting, education, work, free movement, etc. For separate political reasons, the government had classified Taiwanese, Nationalist Chinese, Japanese and South Koreans, as honorary white, and thus granted the same privileges as whites.

why is this news worthy?? what there are no hotels in Paris but that one?
Thread should be closed because this news is not worthy and its not on any government level... its just a man who happened to be racist or/and dumb...
