Dominican Nightclubs Discriminate?

Well, the ugly little secret has reared its head once again.

The United States Embassy of Santo Domingo, has done something unprecedented. They have put a bulletin on their website to tell people of the discriminatory policies at the disco The Loft. It is in all the papers today, and it is an open-secret that most of those upscale clubs discriminate based on race (skin color).

I always love how people say that there is no discrimination based on race, just CLASS. Which is absolute bullshit.

Update: There is an interesting discussion on the message boards of DR1.
Another Update: Very interesting article in the Miami Herald. Seems the owner of The Loft is "black."
