Related: About this forumACLU: "Two lawyers walk into a bar. And get kicked out for being black."
https://www.aclunc.org/blog/two-lawyers-walk-bar-and-get-kicked-out-being-blackACLU lawyers are used to taking on injustice and speaking out on behalf of our clients. This time the discrimination happened to us.
We began the evening on a quest for a good karaoke night, and went to a bar called Brig. After waiting for more than half an hour to sing, we started to wonder when our number would be called. We planned to sing a hip hop and R&B hit from the 90s TLCs Waterfalls.
But before our song was called, a bar employee came up and said we had to buy drinks to sing karaoke. Another bartender lunged at us within inches of our faces and shouted Buy drinks!
Our group of three had already bought two drinks. But it quickly became clear to us that we were unwelcome in the bar.

The bar staff treated the women like shit, and had no idea who they were messing with.

Now that I'm 43 - I'ma call em girls - okay?
They are so harmless looking.
Yet their words, education, and sense of justice is mightier than a bouncer with big muscles and no brain!
