This can’t possibly be true, can it?  According to a report in the South China Morning Post, Beijing bar owners have been asked to refuse service to black patrons. 

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.


So much for that “One World, One Dream” Olympics.  The story also notes that bartenders have been ordered to refuse service to Mongolians.  Beijing officials (whoever that might actually be) have yet to comment on the story.
