McDonald's apologizes after store in China displayed sign banning black ppl

[BUtterfield 8 41,816]

An African man was reportedly asked to leave a McDonald’s outlet in the Chinese city of Guangzhou.

The incident comes amid the growing number of reports of racial profiling and discrimination against Black people in the city. The recent incident involved a man trying to buy himself a meal at McDonald’s at Citic Plaza. But instead of being accommodated, an employee handed him a note that barred him from entering.

The note read: “We’ve been informed that from now on black people are not allowed to enter the restaurant. For the sake of your health consciously notify the local police for medical isolation, please understand the inconvenience caused. police TEL:110”

In a statement to Shanghaiist, McDonald’s China confirmed the incident and offered an apology. It also noted that it had ordered the outlet to “stop immediately such actions” and conduct training programs on “Diversity and Inclusion.”

“A mandatory training for all McDonald’s China employees and crew members is also in progress to ensure those values will be implemented and such an occurrence will be prevented from happening again,” the statement read.

“Currently, all customers are welcome to all our restaurants after body temperature check-up with health QR code issued by the local government.”

I read that China’s kicking black people out of their apartments so there’s a lot sleeping on the streets right now. They’re trying to twist the narrative to blame covid on the black community

China remains the worst.

Their record on animal rights, human rights, and environmental impact is abysmal.
