Otres Corner Bar (The Last Hippie Standing) in Sihanoukville Has Racist Policy Banning Cambodians From Entering
There is a bar on Otres Beach in Sihanoukville called Otres Corner Bar (The Last Hippie Standing) that has a policy to not allow Khmers to enter their bar.
When I started writing this it was only "alleged," but now the owner has responded trying to justify it, citing that casinos in Cambodia also bar locals from entering their establishments.
He basically says he keeps Khmers out because he doesn't want The Corner Bar overrun with prostitutes, TukTuk drivers and beggars. WTF. If there was any business in Cambodia that would benefit from having Public Relations Manager, it might be The Last Racist Standing; I mean Hippie.
I have never known a bar in Cambodia that prohibits Cambodian nationals from entering, and if there are any, surely they don't just say, "yeah, it's our policy, as we don't need a bunch of hookers, motodops and beggars in here." I think I'd just blame on the company's insurance policy or something if I was the Last Racist Standing.
He says he's Asian, therefore he can't be labeled a racist by having this policy. That's like a black landlord saying he doesn't rent to blacks, but it's ok because he's black himself.
He also seems to claim he's Russian. He sounds very confused.
Is this common practice?
Here's the complaint from someone who went there with a Cambodian friend, who wasn't allowed in because he was Cambodian:
And the owner, Fredro Finz's, response:
And some good quotes from the discussion:

Sophie's didn't care for Khmer clientele.

I also sent them some questions by Facebook messenger and they were nice enough to respond.

Half your quotes up there are Cam Nivag stirring the pot. All the khmer I know drink like fish, it's foolish not to let them in, especially the nicely dressed ones as they buy Ballentine's by the bottle. Half the people in those photos look like sketchy motherfuckers.

LoL, very true, but what a pot to stir! They made it way too easy. Just when I thought the owner was going to come on there and clear up the whole mess, he says "we don't let Khmers in because they're hookers, TukTuk drivers and beggars."cptrelentless wrote:Half your quotes up there are Cam Nivag stirring the pot.
If you're going to be racist, you might as well do yourself a favor and be a liar too.

What a despicable bunch of little fascists. I'd love to see a bunch of gendarmerie turn up there unannounced. That would fuck their blue-eyed, blonde-haired, dizzy shit right up.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Ban the hippies, I say. Boycott this bar,and re-open it with a policy that states. " This bar is only open to Khmer patrons and Westerners that have an adequate control of their faces."General Mackevili wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2017 12:56 am ^HAHAHHAHHAA!!!!!

I think he's done himself a huge disservice by admitting that drugs are used in the property. Reminds me of that euro hippy joint in wat bo, siem reap about 5 or 6 years back. They were open about drug parties, and both got nicked.
