So maybe rooms frequented by them are more likely to be damaged often and maybe even violence is a problem. A real tough position because I think the only thing the hotel could do is request a larger deposit. I think that might work because everyone would need to pay it and because it is a large amount you may convince anyone to treat property better.
This is a very sensitive item in Australia.
Also hotel needs to explain itself and 1 staff member is not always reliable as it is possible she/he just hates the hotel while being employed. All possibilities.
Anyway it is normal for me not to be allowed into many hotels/motels (more so cities with less than 5 million population aka countryside) in China as I am not chinese even though I lived here for nearly a decade. Dont hear many people protesting about this. I just accept it and get on with life.
Racially profiling and then discriminating against "these customers" and "them" on the basis of that is racist.
Attacking the medium that reports the issue is called shooting the messenger
