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.
Mi dos centavos. Freedom means just that freedom. We as clients are free to choose the provider, screening out those that for whatever reason are not appealing to us. Providers have the same freedom, no? One of my ATF in Ensenada will not go with African-Americans or Mexicans (fear of being recognized by fellow citizens during the day) but will gladly provide excellent service for white men and Asian men. That is her choice and although I may not agree with her reasoning I categorically support her right to choose her company. Enough said.
