点评:I Just came from this Winery it was my first and Last time.... I went to the Autumn Reggae Festival.. Where do I begin?? The all caucasian police force (approx 15-20 ) standing front and around was initially very off putting, especially since the attendants were predominantly POC . My friends who live locally seemed tolerant of the police presence apparently they expected some trouble?? I went to the Autumn Reggae festival. The event was cool and the food truck and vendor area had a good variety and was neat . My friends and I spent close to 300 dollars on VIP admission As well as purchased quite a few bottlesof wine. Which we now regret becauseof a unpleasant experience with a gang of staff workers . The VIP admission was supposed to allow acess to inside restrooms . During the wind down of the event I along with one of my friends went to go use the indoor restroom that we paid extra to use and we were rudely told No! by a caucasian woman who we discovered was one of the staff members. She then proceeded to tell us to go use the " outdoor port o potty over there "
( pointing) " then out of nowhere at least 4 other caucasian staff members stood over us raising their voices "yea u gotta go to the port o potty" ..feeling threatened by their aggression. we peacefully walked away and packed up to go home . Needless to say We will NEVER go back to any events they have and we will continue to share this experience so that other poc won't have to go there and deal with hostile interactions or be misled by paying for a service that was not "available"
翻译:我刚从那个酒庄回来,那是我第一次也是最后一次去……我参加了秋季雷鬼音乐节。该从何说起呢??现场全是由白人组成的警察队伍(大概15到20人),他们站在前面和四周,这一幕着实让人不适,尤其是考虑到现场的观众大多是有色人种。住在附近的朋友们似乎对警察的存在习以为常,看来他们早就预料到会有些麻烦吧??我去了秋季雷鬼音乐节。这次活动挺不错的,食品卡车和商品展销区提供的商品种类丰富且环境整洁。我和朋友们花了将近300美元购买VIP门票,还买了好几瓶葡萄酒。不过现在我们后悔了,因为遇到了一群态度恶劣的工作人员。原本购买VIP门票是为了能使用内部的洗手间。在活动即将结束时,我和一位朋友前去使用我们额外付费才得以使用的室内洗手间,却遭到一名白人女子粗鲁地拒绝!后来我们才发现她是工作人员之一。接着她让我们去使用“那边的户外移动厕所”——并指了指方向。紧接着,至少有4名白人工作人员不知从哪儿冒出来,站在我们身旁大声说道:“对,你们必须去用那个移动厕所。”他们的气势汹汹让我们感到受到了威胁。我们平静地离开,收拾东西回家了。不言而喻,我们绝对不会再参加他们举办的任何活动。我们也会继续分享这段经历,这样其他有色人种就不必再去那里遭受敌意的对待,也不会因为误以为某项服务“可供使用”而花钱买单了。
