I don't see how one can remove these so-called washers as they pay at the door and have the same right as everybody else. Of course, if they physically bother other people, they should be removed by the bouncers.
I guess the best option at this point is for security to really frisk and really check "Asian FOBS", as you so perceptively put it, for pills when they go into a club.
And since its being done already, check Whites for weed too. |
They do. Or, at least, the clubs that check you at all do. Weed's a lot harder to get inside than pills because it's bulky, fragile, and has a strong smell. 1015 has confiscated at least a full 8th of weed from people I know in the last calendar year, and I've been molested by bouncers looking for the stuff.
I'm not out with the goal of achieving some inviolable personal 3ft radius bubble on the dance floor. I do like some room to move around, and I think that to some reasonable extent people who are not dancing should make dancefloor space for people who are. I dance a LOT when I go out, sometimes I'm on drugs too, and I probably do occupy a bit more floor real estate than the average person whose head is moving but feet aren't (which is how it should be). But I do this while being respectful, so as long as you aren't confusing Washers with People Who Like To Dance, I can generally agree with this thread.
Now, about washers, I think people who are being blatantly disrespectful inside the club should be thrown out, and I don't care what race they are or drugs they are on. Bad behavior is bad behavior. SF seems to do a pretty good job of policing itself, and lots of people seem to be out for the party rather than out for their own personal good time at the expense of others. Washer Incidents do happen, but they're comparitively rare. 1015 is the worst by far in my limited experience, where it seems rude people congregate in much higher numbers than anywhere else I've been in the city, but even still it's not really a problem and 1015 does a good job of handling things.
As to the racism thing: it's not racist to say that out of the 5 times that I can remember being accidentally burned by someone else's cigarette, 4 of the cigarette holders were Asian and the other was Mexican. It's a fact, and it's also a fact that the vast majority if not all Washers are Asian. It's only racist if you make the conclusion that all Asians are washers or some malarkey like that, and I don't think that's anyone's conclusion here. I'd be willing to give the benefit of the doubt to anyone in this thread that a "all asians = washers" comment is 1) your own bullshit interpretation when something else was clearly meant or 2) an innocent slip and not a racist jab.
