Nice motto. Too bad you don’t live it. Too bad you don’t walk the walk. China doesn’t embrace anyone unless you are Chinese. At least it seems that way.

Here is the scene. The USA basketball team wins the Gold medal at the Olympics. The team celebrates away from Olympic Village and heads for a local watering hole. STOP. Can’t come in…. at least some of you can not come in. If you are black, you must turn back! No LeBron or Kobe or Deron or any black person. Also, if you look Mongolian (is there Mongolians on the USA team?) then no admittance.

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 is the 21st century and we have not progressed very far with the all-mankind thing.

Could this possibly be true? Could it possibly be enforced?

 

The Chinese government will hopefully issue denials soon.
