Racial profiling and discrimation

In a country where tensions are already high, you would think that a gay friendly club would be a place where people would be able to forget the challenges that we face as a country. However, being subjected to racial profiling and accused of being drug dealers simply because we are an interracial couple is dumbfounding. I would seriously question the management's choice of security - who are currently not skilled or equipped to deal with the affections of an interracial couple, or the objective questions posed challenging this discrimination. The security guard in question, Bjorn Carolus, not only refused to apologize but was threatening to both of us. An absolutely humiliating and offensive experience. As a respected individual in the media (and my boyfriend an attorney), further action will be taken and this will surely not be the last of this issue.
