I have been thinking of writing on my sandwich board sign outside my place in P.P... "All nationalities welcome... as long as your first language is not Chinese".

If you're actually looking for a straight response - yes, it's racist because it's exclusionary based on ethnicity. No, it's not hate speech. Is it covered by your freedom of expression and the fact that people are not entitled to your goods/services - yes. Will you get more blowback than it's worth - probably.Artful Dodger wrote: ↑Tue May 01, 2018 3:10 pm I have been thinking of writing on my sandwich board sign outside my place in P.P...

Edit: In your position I'd be more inclined to write on the bottom of the board, in Chinese only, "Be respectful of staff and other customers or you'll be told to leave."
