Taxi Blues with Viennese racism
The soprano Angel Blue ( Theater an der Wien , Rape of Lucretia) was then thrown out of the taxi in Vienna, of course, not unfounded, but because of racial antipathy, as I did in Standard (Print version 25.2.11) had to read. "I do not drive black woman." is, the driver of the singer, as a friendly note, have been on their way.
Now one can naturally ask why politicians - public opinion until one of these frequent discrimination - - such as members of red / green when it relates to a quasi-celebrities. But such a question would be superfluous.
is more interesting to ask why the FPÖ can tell by their transport spokesman, that doubts about the Taxi Blues Blues application, that officially admits that statements of an African-American women's first principle does not believe - even if it is quasi-prominent. Also would be a political action against racism in taxis "taxi-bashing" , say the completely blue. Sure. And the political approach to his party friend Muammar al-Gaddafi, also tyrant-bashing is likely if one is so blue, to engage in this logic.
much I would have the honesty Freedom Party in any case not have expected and maybe that's a step towards transparency, much discussed, the parties could set out with their deepest depths. I'm just waiting for the liberal Carinthia (the Carinthian branch held at a distance of the Vienna FPÖ) finally admit what they have to Jörg Haider's corpse really made his mummy and all taxpayers, the devout visit, be made available.
But the guild is concerned taxi, refreshingly honest insights into the inner spirit of their PR strategy and customer service. There is sheltered from its customers - and distanced himself so much - of racial discrimination (Which should have forgotten anyone, even in the realm of Ö ™ is illegal) that you imagine not even be that something should be ever happened - so free of racism are the brains of taxi offal (especially those who to their opening stand) And they argue very deliberate: the taxi driver could have cited the above have said no because he would certainly not speak English so perfectly. No doubt: taxi drivers from all migrant groups in the world who drive all day tourists and international business people through Vienna to talk to - now and future - only in Chinese. After all, it
could also be that the taxi driver the singer did not want to go only so because he hates opera (perhaps in particular those performing).
who incidentally happen no opera singer, as Mrs. Blue, however, such as dark-skinned, female and so recently expelled from a taxi, which should not contact the Taxi Guild, for protecting her clients so much from racism, sexism and the like that Such terrible things they do not even dare to take in the mouth - just as Austrian label. They would rather complain, as the information standard, in gleichbehandlungsanwaltschaft.at - this also applies with respect Disco guilds, guilds restaurant, swimming pool guilds ... etc. but unfortunately not about work, party, government and / or state guilds - because there the existence of discrimination is already prohibited as strong that even the perception is rejected.
