Here is the sad thing. I have received not one, but five emails asking me to address this situation. Before I get to my opinion, here are a few of the links to understand where this is coming from.
This was provided by Houroc at SportsFiends.com by way of Withleather.com stating that bar owners are being forced to sign agreements that they will not serve Blacks and Mongolians. Here is the quote.

Bar owners near the Workers' Stadium in central Beijing say they have been forced by Public Security Bureau officials to sign pledges agreeing not to let black people enter their premises.
"Uniformed Public Security Bureau officers came into the bar recently and told me not to serve black people or Mongolians," said the co-owner of a western-style bar, who asked not to be named."
This was provided by Lisa who is a big Tennessee Lady Vols fan (I am more of a UCONN fan but I am going to let that slide). Now in this article the police are denying the above story about a ban on Blacks and Mongolians here is a quote.

Police in Beijing's popular Sanlitun bar district deny they are conducting a racist campaign ahead of the Olympics, as another bar owner revealed he had been ordered not to let in blacks.
"They made us sign and chop a document saying we would not allow black people in [during the Olympics]," the owner said. "But no one is willing to say so because we'll all get deported ... and have our business shut."
Asked yesterday whether they had told landlords not to let blacks in bars, an officer at the Sanlitun police station had a one-word answer: "No."
The bar owner said police had given landlords a list of do's and don't's during the Olympics. "We simply can't let them in [sic. during the Olympics], it's what I was told," he said.
"It's [sic. the restrictions on blacks] definitely happening. It will all happen in 24 hours."
Sounds almost like a Roger Clemens denial doesn't it? The one thing we need to remember is China is still a communist country. So while they are talking about that "One World, One Dream" BS, in reality their dream is to rule the world without allowing anyone to have freedom to make their own choices. When you have a country where you can be jailed for having more than one kid, you shouldn't be surprised they may be racist against people that don't look like them.
There is a lot with wrong with the United States. There are probably some, who if I walked into, I would be taking my life into my own hands. But, at least, I have that choice. So while you are watching the Olympics, just remember we aren't just fighting a battle to be respected as an equal race in the United States, but we are fighting that same battle all over the world.
SMH
When will this crap end smh
Wait is this a Robert Littal article that doesn't include a model or a music video or kobe bryant? Am I on the right site? Blacksportsonline actually talking about something that has to do with blacks as oppose to the wanna be Jay Z Stu Scott Puffy? I am shocked
Black people are hated everywhere
So Angela said no? Let's drink
Sad
This is yet another bogus story. If you can't find the source, and can't read Chinese, then for Pete's sake, spreading foolishness like this is just fanning the flames of hatred. It's a rumour. Cheap gossip. Be above it.
Unless you are looking for a reason to be offended and dislike the Chinese, then by all means, carry on.
