hmm this is very interesting, i also was called "a cracker" by the staff at this bar, but not only "a cracker", but "a fat cracker" .... as i was told i did not belong there .. it was funny i thought, because i wanted to go for the "peaceful atmosphere" of the reggae music.

Perhaps this specific atmosphere is not designed to accomodate the cultural background that you spawn from!

rude staff

That's funny u say that mandarin b/c my friend went there one night- she is white- and while minding her own business... bouncer out of left field calls her a "cracker" and to get out. saying that this was not the place for her. I thought it was absolutely ridiculous. Chances are he mistook her for someone else, but was the whole cracker comment necessary? It makes me sort of hesitant to go there if there is going to be a race issue. :(
