Corporate safe-space


So, in the land of the brave and the free we see that neither is really true. Here's a video of some security guy preventing a couple of people entering a Starbucks coffee shop inside a Hilton hotel because (we assume) of the words on one of their tee-shirts. If you're wondering what offensive and derogatory filth must written on a shirt in order to be refused entry into a Hilton hotel then apparently "I'm an Ex-Muslim, ask me why" will do the job nicely. I guess simply the word "Muslim" visible in any kind of controversial setting these days is sufficient to trigger the corporate types into some sort of "safe-space" lock-down; is this a case of profit before principal perhaps?
