Do you see black guys?

[daviemac]

I think typically in your example most punters would just introduce themselves and state their actual race/ethnicity.

A black man would say 'I'm a black guy, is that alright?'
A south asian man would say 'I'm a south asian guy, is that alright?'
An east asian man would say 'I'm an east asian guy, is that alright?'

I don't think anyone would describe themselves as 'coloured'.

I wasn't having a dig at your age or suggesting that being older is anything bad. I mentioned it because although 'coloured' is now very outdated and considered racist, it was commonplace terminology in the UK decades ago, so I suspect you used it without intending to cause offence, as i mentioned in the post.

Welcome to the woke brigade 

I used it as a general description of someone who isn't white leaving the option for the person describing themselves to replace it with what they deem suitable, in the same way as I mentioned several ages. It was not feasible to list all variation of non whites in the post.

However I will not amend my post simply because employment Judge Kirsty Ayre has ruled the term 'coloured' is not racist when used to simply describe someone from an ethnic minority background as a one-off comment in a case brought before her.

So the courts have rules that coloured is not racist, but you mentioning age IS ageist and is something I find extremely offensive and that has nothing to do with my age.

You are happy to pull someone up when a term is used as a one off general description that has legally been defined as not racist yet post something far worse yourself.

I've seen "no black" quite a few times in both Thai and (to a lesser degree) Brazilian. I've had more than one tell me they've been robbed by one and aren't taking any more chances. There are also certain towns and cities they screw their face up in disgust when you ask where they've toured before.

I think it's in AW t&c, and will look this up in the help centre.

As has been mentioned previously, the sex contract is not a normal or usual contract because of the nature of sex and consent.

SPs should be able to pick and choose to see/not see whoever they want.

I’ve had a SP apologise to me over the phone,
“Sorry I don’t see black men” 🤷🏼

I think we should all have every right to deal or not with the people we choose be it because of their colour or for any other reason, or this is not a free country.

[Norwichwood]

And we get to choose so why shouldn't the SP. Some of us like Thai girls - some don't each to their own. And if some ladies not seeing black guys - just find one that does - there will be plenty. Don't worry we're all getting laid.

[Snagbadjer]

We certainly don't live in a free country. As a punter, I don't have any biases as regards to race. I favour Brazilians but they are multiracial. And Thais are just readily available, I don't necessarily like them more than any other racial group.

I get the sense that with the "no blacks" rule a few SPs have, it's not so much that they don't like black people (they worship money, not a person's phenotype). But a lot of them seem to have a tale to tell about getting robbed or threatened or harassed by one. I remember seeing a Thai SP who said she'd been robbed by one and he threatened her and took her day's earnings. It put her off touring big cities and she said she preferred places like Lincoln, Wales etc. as it's safer for her.

Is this a question or a statement? Either way where have you been, it’s stopped being a free country ever since the police officers show up on your doorstep because of a Facebook post, think about it pal. You are not allowed to say what’s on your mind anymore…

Throughout my long-ish career I’ve spoken to many girls, and of course, that’s what it has always been about, not sexual preferences or racism. Girls don’t feel safe.

Instead of using 'coloured' You could have listed several races like you did with ages, I don't see why that wasn't feasible.

I didn't ever suggest you should amend your post, I just thought it was worth flagging that the term is outdated and generally considered offensive/racist, while at the same time acknowledging that you hadn't said it with any ill-intent.

I can't see in the article you posted where judge Kirsty Ayre states it's not a racist term, just that the incident being reviewed in court didn't amount to racial harassment.

Apologies that the age comment extremely offended you. No offence was intended at all, i (perhaps wrongly) assumed that when you so casually used the term 'coloured' you were unaware that the term was outdated and considered offensive/racist, but I think you're now suggesting otherwise, and that you were already aware, but you disagree with it?

If somebody considers another person to be more dangerous purely because of the colour of their skin, that is 100% racism, there's no other description for it.

It's still of course totally up to the providers who they see as clients, and they don't need to justify it to anybody if they don't want to.

Accusing an SP who has been assaulted and robbed as "racist" for wanting to reduce risk to themselves in the future is a despicable thing to say.

No, it’s a risk assessment based on their personal experiences. And for some a way of avoiding having to revisit past trauma.

I see people from all backgrounds, but I don’t think it’s my place to label other women as racist or xenophobic (girls do avoid certain nationalities too, including european ones) for their choices.

It is all sad, yes, I’m sure we can agree on that.

Yes - avoiding revisiting past trauma is very understandable and that's totally different.

My statement was completely factual though.

Give it up mate, just remember when you're getting on your high horse about what you perceive to be political correctness to practice what you preach and don't use ageist terms.

Maybe read the article again. I used the term coloured as an innocuous 'catch all' term to assist members with how to communicate with SPs to get the best results yet you have turned it into accusing me of racism, something I am not.

Okay, but using this logic, we have many, many xenophobes on this forum- guys who avoid for example romanian SPs. But instead of labelling them as such, we leave them alone. So why not extend the same courtesy to girls who choose not to see guys of certain races or nationalities?

Agreed. They can see who they want but it’s still racism. We can read reports from a publicly available SP forum and see complaints about men stealing, stealthing and many more heinous acts come from white, black, south asian and many more men.

Why not ban other minority groups en masse too after reading their negative reports?

Sadly it's about the proportion of certain types who cause trouble in any given area based on the experience of the crew as much as the ladies themselves.  Also some nutters of all types stalk some of these ladies and thus even if she moves to another area she may well stick to her proscriptions as well as check punters out on the street before giving them the actual address.

Not disagreeing but if we read the SP forum I’m talking about, the warnings and wasters section to be precise, a large chunk of reports about men pushing boundaries (stealthing, forcing them to do services that the SP didn’t consent to), it’s south asian men who are disproportionately overrepresented in the complaints. These are complaints from SPs on a public domain.

Question is why don’t we see more SPs having no South Asians allowed then?

My wider point is that you see men of other races / ethnicities doing bad things and SPs will ban them specifically, but it’s clearly racist to not apply that same logic to black punters. Why should an entire race of men be implicated for the actions of a minority when the same doesn’t happen for other races?

[Mmmaah!]

It’s because white punters form the overwhelming majority of a SP’s customer base. Even in London that would be the case.
No SP is going to blanket ban white punters, no matter how many bad experiences they had with white punters as doing so would drastically reduce their income.

Agreed…..but my specific primary question (in a standalone paragraph for a reason) was about South Asian punters (SAAFE reports which has way more reports on them in the most recent pages vs other groups), which you ignored to give an answer to my secondary question, which inadvertently proves my point

How representative is that forum of the whole community?
I'm pretty certain most of the SPs I've seen across the years did/do not use it much if at all. Perhaps if I punted in areas with larger pops of S Asian men I might hear more from the SPs to their detriment 
Of course there are the weird behavioural Venn diags that may be at play, e.g. Are Thai girls sought more by African origin men compared to S Asians?  maybe Chinese are more avoided than sought by S Asians  maybe the Chinese are popular with the S Asians because in those catchment areas the achinese offer bb!? 
I've mentioned before that Bayswater (and environs) had a bunch of complaints about various unpleasant behaviours by the Middle Easterners around there.  As I said it's types within the context of paid sex and catchment areas but if the catchment areas preferred by any given SP are otherwise better business too then exclusions may seem universal when they aren't.  And some of our fellow punters have reviewed encounters with SPs who would otherwise have excluded them.
