PayYourWayMate highlighted the fact that ethnic punters are in the minority, so in terms of an SP "losing out", it's not a big deal, financially speaking, to employ an NBA policy (or similar) for most SPs if they decide to. Yes bad experiences can happen with white punters too, but they can't just decided not to see white punters in a country where the majority of the population/their clientele is white.
Bro, we live in the UK where the majority country is white right? Now, the majority punting population is safe to say is not black. If we are punting minorities, it's safe to say that we do not have the purchasing power as a group to dictate what providers can and will not allow. Now...if we as a punting minority seem to be causing the most hassle but yet have the weakest contribution to a WGs bottom line....why on earth does a WG need to accept our custom? It's easier to blacklist us. Sure, white punters can do the same shit black punters are accused of, but WGs cannot blacklist all white punters, they are most likely the majority; their bottom line will get wiped out...no ££££££ for them. A WG blacklisting white punters will not survive.
I think a lot of people, including me initially, neglect to consider that, although they provide a service, it's totally at their discretion because it's a very personal/intimate service that's being offered. Think about how traumatic it must be to be robbed, raped, attacked, intimidated or any other such attack of one's personal space. There's a lot to be said for
trauma and how one can be triggered by the colour of a person's skin etc... I was robbed a couple of times in my teens by black boys and ended up having a fear of being jacked whenever I was alone and saw a group of black kids, and I'm mixed race and grew up in multi-racial south-east London. Some people get over their trauma easily, while others simply can't and get extremely anxious when their in the presence of someone who triggers that traumatic event.
Put yourself in their shoes; you're a woman, working (mostly) alone and you've had a few bad experiences with different black punters, who are mostly in the minority as far as business goes. You're afraid it could happen again, how do you minimise the risk?
I think this comment is useful in understanding why an SP would adopt an NBA policy.
She didn't have the NBA policy when I saw her. She did mention some roadmen had tried to rob her the week before and she was going to put the NBA policy on. If you're an old cunt you'll be fine.
It's a complicated topic but this is my take on the "bad experiences" reasoning.
As with most things, this all becomes a bit different when you start to consider the influence of money (i.e. less NBAs among higher tier SPs). But that's another discussion.
