No different than going to Costco….
Need to be a member doesn't matter what they sell
What do you mean “quote unquote discriminated against”. They were being discriminated against. Which is also done by Indians and many other immigrant groups in nigeria.
Things like that should be stopped by the government. It doesn’t need to generate so much buzz, just resolve it.
If the store is within a gated community, the general public, white, black, brown or gold-skinned, have no right of access unless connected in some way with the gated community.
Other countries don’t believe in the US media no more!!!
Be careful of western propaganda
It's always "lone wolf" and not "typical" when they arent Black. When it's any Black person then it's a "cultural" problem….of course you said it's a one-off when chinese media and several chinese nationals that have performed racist actions.
And y'all are trying to be apologetic for racism. No.
Are Nigerians welcomed and allowed to ply their trade and lifestyles in China? Just a question.
A Nigerian owned supermarket has the right to refuse access to anyone who they don't like. So why can't Chinese owner do the same? Ooooh, Chinese are the foreigner.
STUPID SUPERMARKET
Of course western media will jump on the bandwagen about anything anti – Chinese to make them racist in this case. The fog of propaganda turns a blind eye to truth.
Gated communities restrict access legally. If they are legal then they are legal.
You guys earned a little bit of my trust with this episode
So, if this supermarket is in a gated community, I don't see why it's a problem if they refuse to allow non residents to enter..
It's not racist..
Forgot to mention that immigrant stores are too often being looted by the locals.
In general, I am against opening the business just for a certain clientele. A main question that the host and guests did not really address is the supermarket is in a gated community. Were those shoppers have legal status to enter the community?
17:22 i agree, like why lock a potential consumer base out, when you can make more revenue
15:52 to say they might be worried about the local non-chinese residents shoplifting is tone deaf and racially charged. Cuz you are insinuating that the Nigerians are the only ones who shoplift. Not even sure why theres an effort to defend this. This is not the angle i thought you were going with this. I thought you were gonna say maybe there are worried if they let nigerians in, then they may not have enough supplies for their Chinese customers, that makes slightly more sense. But also, i could be wrong, but wasn't it acknowledged that the market used to let in nigerians? So what changed?
NGO are in the pay roll of the NED and CIA. They will not cease, they will look around for more and send their point man to galvanise some unsuspecting people to use them as the main players. The government should look into the cctv to see if the NGO associates are involved and exposed them if there are.
Cobus, you’re right but there are also some people who have other ulterior motive as another Geraud said, how they found that shop when there is no name shown. Could they have been used to spike that Chinese shop? Eric suggestions make sense as many Chinese don’t speak English. And, also the guard could have unintentionally said something not proper.
If it is a gated community, then access would be limited to certain people
It would have been wiser for the supermarket to be located outside the compound and open to all.
Most of the news articles I found on the net shows only one-sided story, never mentioning the story of the store owner's side. This video shows a more balanced story.
