Discrimination against non-black dancers?
ilbbaicnl
Keep it in my pants when I do OTC. If I were a stripper it would stand for I like big bucks and I can not lie.
A latina dancer recently told me she had tried to audition at a club that seems to only have black dancers. She said they straight up told her that she was "too light". I had always thought non-black dancers avoided certain clubs because they didn't feel safe, or felt the money wasn't the best at those clubs. It's seems pretty clear that clubs that target the higher-income white collar PL demographic generally tightly limit the number of black dancers. So I could see it that black dancers might have a "stay out of my lane" tude towards non-black dancers at clubs with predominantly black dancers. But I'd never considered that club management might only want to hire black dancers.

Strippers are hustlers by trade and jaded their nature. It makes sense then that AA strippers are so defensive on their home ground.
I've had black strippers tell me they think the top Indianapolis club, Brad's Brass Flamingo, has a racial quota. I had a pretty and friendly little black girl regular named Alize who never seemed to be able to get on there. I don't think the owners are closet racists. It's just a business decision and it is one that works since they have kept their customer base while other clubs which hired large numbers of black dancers have gone into a decline. Most club owners think mostly in terms of profits. Maximizing profits here in Indianapolis seems to mean having a mix of racial groups and body types.
Management also needs to “Keep the Drugs Out”…….that the Goons bring in…..
Others hire a wide spectrum, including BBWs, to have something for everyone.
In most big cities, there is something for every dancer and customer. It’s all about market demand.
I'm all for equality and shit, but when it comes to things like strip clubs where appearance is a significant component of qualifications, I feel like a club owner ought to be within their rights to hire/not hire based on appearance, of which skin tone is certainly a component. I know clubs that won't hire big titty bitches and clubs that won't hire the itty bitty titty committee. I don't see that as discrimination. I see a hiring manager hiring based on physical traits that are directly related to their ability to perform the job.
IMO, if they don't hire someone to do accounting based on their race/creed/orientation/breast size/etc, that's racial discrimination. If they don't hire someone to strip based on their physical appearance, that's not. The line gets blurrier where physical appearance is part of the job description but not the primary one, but it feels pretty clear cut for strippers.
It's also not age discrimination when they refuse to hire 81 year olds. Sure, some dudes might like that kinda shit but the reality is they don't fit the hiring mangers idea of sexually appealing and are thus unfit for the the role of stripper. If someone opened up a fetish club where old bitches was their thing, it wouldn't be discrimination to not hire 22 yr olds for that job either.
You've never been to a club that has all black dancers? They're pretty commonplace.
"why bother letting black patrons in at all?"
Ever seen a club that says "no du rags, no athletic wear, no sagging pants, no sideways caps, etc."? This is an unsubtle way clubs filter out black and working class patrons.
I can only laugh a hurricane at the whole concept of strip club "ambiance". They are almost always sad, seedy places. But a good dancer can put you in a bubble of good ambiance is these shitty places. One of the reasons I appreciate them.
So the good-knows-when-that-mystery-meat-was-cooked food at an all-you-can eat "Chinese" buffet is an example of fine dining ambiance. TUSCL discussions in a nutshell.
In nyc there are plenty Mexican spots served by Asians.
And pizza spots ran by Mexicans
I havent seen asian only clubs either, but have heard theres asian only massage parlors.
