- This case is just sad – Rome Blad

– This is about people who can not something that they make noises and noisy little. Should we deny people access such reasons, we get a society that is quite discriminatory. This is just sad, says Tom Fidje, leader of the Norwegian Association of the Disabled local chapters in Nes and Ullensaker.

Overwhelming response

Rome Blad told Saturday three handicapped rullestolbruere and companions theirs from living community Bekkedroga on Sørumsand who last week was denied access to the Chinese Restaurant Shanghai House on Bjørkelangen .

According Zarganar Duvaeva, who works in the living community, they were told that they could not get in because the restaurant losing customers because of them.

– The fuss too much and eat too little, said holder Chenglong Dong to Rome Blad.

– It was a terrible message to get. It hurt placed inside the heart, told Duvaeva.

Many people have reacted to the incident. Both in comments of rb.no and social media debate has raged since Saturday.

Also Duvaeva has received many inquiries from both relatives of residents and others.

– I’m completely overwhelmed. It has been entirely positive response. Everyone asks how this could happen and think it’s unfair, she says.

– I am glad that this came forward, for it is an important issue that must be addressed. These residents are people like everyone else. Therefore it is good to see that a large majority of those who discuss the matter online, agree that what happened is discriminatory, says Zarganar Duvaeva.

RB EDITORIAL: Today RB manager “This is despicable and reinspikka discrimination”

– Must earn customers

Also on the restaurant’s Facebook page has been many reactions, strong and unambiguous: Words like ” outrageous “and” discrimination “recur.

The holder persisted, then Rome Blad spoke with him Sunday.

– No with us has closed the entrance with the body, so it was in the newspaper – but it is true that they were refused entry. In addition to the shouting and banks in the table, they add almost out of money. They often eat just a scoop of sorbet to 15 million and a glass of water. I find that they come just to borrow site and to chat and enjoy themselves, without eating, says Cheng Long Dong.

It’s fine when it’s summer beer, but not inside the restaurant, he said.

– We serve at the tables and must monetize customers. This is a restaurant, not a cafe, says Cheng Long Dong.

– Never heard of similar

Tom Fidje believes this argument does not hold water.

– I would think there are other customers who would rather not leave so much money, unless they are denied access, says Fidje, who has never heard of a similar case.

– Fortunately this is not widespread problem. The debate on the issue shows the well that most people are more tolerant. We can not have a society where people who are different poked out, says Fidje.
