The other day the Cosmopolitan Club refused entry to a man because he declined to remove his turban, and their dress code states no hats. The club was hosting a special event in honor of this very man that evening, in honor of his work in the community.
As the turban is a part of his religious dress I would have thought he would be exempt. I would have thought that there would be a public outcry at a gentleman of good standing int eh community being turned away for wearing any garment that was so strongly linked with his faith. Apparently, not so much.
It made it onto the news and such, but the opinion polls on the various news websites shows a greater portion of respondents think the Club was right to turn him away.
All this does not effect me in the slightest, but it still seems wrong to me, that people don't see this as a weak excuse for discrimination.
Once again, I am a little embarrsed by my people.
