Officials in the South Asian nation, where Russians and Ukrainians have fled the war in Ukraine, said they were canceling long-term tourist visa extensions amid public fury over the event.
The party may be over for thousands of Russian tourists who moved to Sri Lanka amid the war in Ukraine.
Authorities in the South Asian island nation said this week they were canceling long-term tourist visa extensions — a move that coincides with outrage over what appeared to be a “whites only” event organized by a Russian-run nightclub in a popular resort town.
But the debt-stricken island’s president raised doubts over whether his government would go through with the cancellations, which would threaten a much-needed source of tourist income.
Why? Because it’s true… you can have a “blacks only” just about anything… hell, I just watched a commercial about supporting “black only businesses” during Black History Month…imagine if that said “support you’re local white businesses…” lol…
Yeah, maybe where YOU live that is the case but in many / most other places what I wrote is reasonably correct… I’m guessing in areas of the world where apartheid was actively enforced and sometimes went even further (Jim Crow laws etc.) there’s bound to be a giant swing back the other way. Eventually a more natural balance will hopefully prevail.
