The poster whom you replied to was talking about taking pictures inside the store to copy items on store shelf. You of course failed to understand the context.

Not at all. Businesses have a right to decide whom they want to do with business with. No discrimination rule applies to employments and promotions, not whom to do business with.

The law in the UK also applies to discriminating against customers based on race, religion, sexual preferences, disablity, etc. Recently a Christian owner of a B&B was prosecuted against because she refused to rent out a room to a gay couple.

This being the EU, the laws across different countries will be similar.

Look who has a reading comprehension problem.

No racism there are many stores around the world which restricts chinese people from taking pictures in their stores due to the cheap duplication of their products as one of the members have said

What's new here? Chinese hate Korea the most. Koreans hate China the most. Well known facts. It's like asking how Pakistanis and Indians get along. Not well, of course.

Designer Gillier 'sorry' for China tourist remark

A French fashion designer has apologised for saying that Chinese holidaymakers will not be welcome at a luxury hotel he plans to open in Paris.

Thierry Gillier, founder of label Zadig and Voltaire, told the magazine Women's Wear Daily that his hotel "won't be open to Chinese tourists".

The statement caused outrage in China where his comments went viral on social networking sites.

Mr Gillier has said his comments were taken out of context.

"My remarks were doubtless clumsy... I understand they might have hurt my friends from China, France or elsewhere, and I am deeply sorry for that," he said in a statement on Thursday.

The statement added that Mr Gillier wanted to underscore the exclusivity of the hotel and emphasise that it would not cater for the mass tourism market.

Christian Fraser, the BBC's correspondent in Paris, said Mr Gillier had urged the magazine to modify his quotation from "Chinese tourists" to "busloads of tourists".

The Zadig hotel is due to open in 2014 on Paris's chic Left Bank.

Chinese angst
Writing on the Chinese microblogging site weibo, one user, Meng Deping, suggested Chinese people should show their anger by simply boycotting the hotel.

Another, Hu Jiang, said he was not surprised by the remarks but Chinese people would continue to visit European countries nonetheless.

There was a certain amount of angst among bloggers, too.

"Lots of janitors at China's big hotels look down upon fellow citizens," wrote Real Babe. "How can we blame the French for doing so too?"

Happy Snail said Chinese tourists needed to change "bad habits", adding: "Chinese commonly ignore warnings and try to take photos in art galleries, and talk loudly in restaurants."

"Every Chinese should reflect on the incident," wrote David. "Why are the Chinese not well received wherever they go? We need to think hard, particularly those government officials and businessmen."

Not at all. Businesses have a right to decide whom they want to do with business with. No discrimination rule applies to employments and promotions, not whom to do business with.

In a racist country like Korea this may apply, here in the EU it's a crime to not serve to a person based on race, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion and physical disability.

you are not Korean!

Do I need to remind you of your embarrassment on PDF giving yourself away on many occasions!

If the Chinese - S Korean are hating each other so much, why the Chinese are flocking to S Korea and getting good receptions!

Well, some Chinese do understand the problems with Chinese tourists. Now is the time to take actions about it, by implementing a mandatory tourist education before departure.

No matter, damages are done. Sarkozy wasn't welcomed in China and Hallande probably won't. There's no wonder as to why Germany performs better than any of these yoyos.

You must not be from America. In America Jim Crow type law are not permitted. You better remove the American flag from your profile as you are disgracing the American flag ad offending Americans (and maybe Koreans as well)
