      In China's recent efforts to save face and re-write the script of Covid-19 framing itself as the hero of the foreign bug, local businesses are stuck between a rock and a hard place. In Guangzhou Yuexiu and Haizhu districts, restaurants are being visited by local authorities and instructed to "refuse dine-in service to foreigners, especially black people." Yes, that's a direct quote. On one hand, our business operates as a guest in China and has always tried best to comply with local policy. On the other hand, I come from a long line of teachers, parents, and previous bosses that all believed very strongly in racial equality. Therefore we are politely responding for the local authorities to go fuck themselves. We just won't operate anywhere in which our business is encouraged to discriminate even if we get shut down for it. Principles before Profits. - The Pizza Factory Guangzhou and Shenzhen. #原则 #种族歧视 #洗脑带来的后果

      After a few days I am very interested to hear: did you have any backlash for serving black people and other foreigners in China?
