TOP | “Animals and foreign immigrants are prohibited” (Vietato l’ingresso agli animali ed agli immigrati. La direzione) What you are reading above is a notice posted on the door of a bar near Montesacro in Rome. Today, a regular customer of the bar, a Moroccan who has lived in Italy for many years, saw this shocked written notice. I decided to ask the bartender for an explanation, but was forcibly expelled from the bar. The reason was that the bar owner had a drunken fight with immigrants in the bar. For this reason, the bar owner asked his employees to stick stickers on the glass door at the entrance. With such a notice, the Moroccan believed that the bar’s behavior constituted racial discrimination and was also an extreme act of highly discriminating against foreign immigrants. Any legal immigrants should enjoy equal treatment because they are also the country’s wealth. Italian media newspapers commented on this incident: “Is this just a tasteless joke?” |
