[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of the comments advocating for diversity at resorts are completely reasonable. An international crowd can be a vibe. Different varieties of white folk can be a vibe too. Sometimes, places like the Tryall Club in Jamaica can feel like someone just picked up Chevy Chase and plopped it in the tropics which is kind of boring.

But none of that is what the OP was getting at. They were explicitly saying they didn’t like the whole “local people with darker skin serving a white crowd” thing.

This is an OP problem. That’s what travel is. Local people serving visitors. OP wasn't speaking to the intrigue or style of the crowd (achievable through any number of different aspects of personality irrespective of skin color). They just don’t like the appearance of dark serving white regardless of the context.

It’s a gross reduction of human beings to a single visual trait that has no bearing on their humanity and completely ignores the context of one nationality hosting another.

ie. Bahamians are Bahamian, joyful, fun, proud of their country, outgoing, and incredible hosts, but to the OP, they are just black.

The original post is disgustingly racist.

Yes.  Good analysis and critique.  The way to not be racist is to not be racist.  Integrating racial consciousness into choices is inherently racist.  [/quote]
