Hi Thirsty, I can only imagine what the providers think,and I'm interested to see what the ones who hopefully reply have to say on this matter.I doubt if ANYONE will say they intentionally exclude anyone because of race.I did talk to an experienced provider who told me she had "instincts" about certain people that they might be LE or worse,they might be hostile or dangerous,maybe they just happened to be a minority.If a woman is in business for herself,I would have to say,yes,she should be able to include or exclude anyone she wants to,and if you're of a minority group,and you feel you've been "shut out",just go down the list,and find someone that WILL provide you service.

Recently a member of the Boston board community posted regarding his frustration with a local agency. According to the poster, he was refused services because he is black. Other threads relevant to this topic have appeared this week on the Florida, Boston, Atlanta and National boards.

This topic goes beyond the issue of racism. Some would say that providers should see everyone. We know that, realistically, this is not the case. Some ladies impose age restrictions or weight or other restrictions related to physical appearance as well as race restrictions. What is the answer?

A. See everybody or get out of the business.

B. The other restrictions are okay but restrictions based on race are not.

C. It’s her body; she can impose whatever restrictions that she feels necessary.

D. The answer is C but she must tell us about it upfront.

E. [Your solution]

This is a hot button topic without question. Take a look at the existing threads.

I would like to invite everyone who has an opinion on this topic to a chat in the Boston chat room next Wednesday, February 18th @ 9:00 P.M. ET/ 6:00 P.M. PT. (If you’re located in another time zone and you’re confused, just enter the chat room the night before. At least you’ll be guaranteed a good seat. ;)

I agree. I raised the possibility of 4 scenarios in the initial post of this thread. Across TER, many people are choosing scenario D, "it's okay to have this policy but you must be up front about it." Ironically, the provider whose policy generated the initial thread on this subject (on the National board) was forthright about her restrictions. She posted that she will only see Anglo men over the age of 40.
