Does the Dallas Observer not review its own classified ads. Read this:

"Sorry no African Americans". Really?
NO, this is NOT a thread about whether an escort has the right to select whomever she wants for sex. I'm actually on the side of the providers on that issue. So please don't re-hash those old arguments.
This ad is for LEGAL massage services (supposedly). So, no sex or other illegal activities is supposed to be involved. Just therapeutic massage, like you would get in any legit spa or clinic.
In fact, forget the legal issues of whether or not the masseuses can be sued for discrimination. What on earth was the Dallas Observer thinking when they ran that ad? Or, should I say, NOT thinking?
Try to imagine if a dentist or chiropractor posted a classified ad that stated "No African Americans". Would they run that ad too?
I guess that these ads are posted by clients over the Internet, so maybe the ads are not reviewed by a human being before they are uploaded. Looks like the DO needs some new software.
