Incidente racial se vuelve viral; el afectado promete que “buscará justicia”

Published

on

El empleado de un hotel llamó a la policía cuando descubrió en el lobby de la instalación a un individuo hablando por teléfono y luego de intercambiar un par de palabras con él llamó a la policía, en un hecho que no solo ha desencadenado protestas sino que se ha convertido en viral. ¿La causa? No está del todo clara, pero el afectado alega que hubo discriminación racial por parte del empleado.

El individuo expulsado era un huesped del hotel que se encontraba hablando con su madre por teléfono, pero al parecer el empleado que lo recriminó lo hizo porque creyó que este era un extraño. Sin embargo el hombre alega que durante la conversación el mantuvo en su mano todo el tiempo la llave de la habitación.

Identificado como Jermaine Massey, al llegar la policía esta escuchó su versión de la historia pero como el empleado del Hotel – nombrado Earl – tiene derecho a exigir la remoción del cliente, este debió empacar sus cosas e irse.

Tonight I was racially profiled and discriminated against for taking a phone call in the lobby of my hotel room at the @doubletreepdx @doubletree. The security guard “Earl” decided that he would call the police on me, the exact reason is still unclear to me. He said that I was a safety threat to the other guests and that I was trespassing and said that I was a disturbance because I took a personal phone call from my mom in a more remote area of the lobby. The manager who actually called the cops, “Luis” actually asked me AFTER he called the cops, what happened? They already had in their minds that they didn’t want me there so I waited for the cops to show up and when they did, I explained my side of the story and they didn’t want to hear it. They asked me if I had personal items in my room (which of course I did) and asked me to go retrieve them. They told me that since the hotel requested me to leave, that if I didn’t I would be considered a trespasser and would be thrown in jail. I complied and cooperated and was not issued a refund for my room. I packed my stuff and went to another hotel. I cannot believe the level of professionalism that this hotel property had with me tonight. It is never ok to discriminate against guests for the color of their skin and to prejudge them based on your own bias against that race. Earl is a disgrace, calls himself a man but calls the Portland Police Dept on a man who was minding his own business in the lobby of his hotel. I had my hotel key in my hand the entire conversation, he knew I was a guest. He wanted to prove a point and did it in the worst way. Not really shocked that this happened but just extremely disappointed. I will be seeking justice. Believe that. @doubletree @doubletreepdx @hiltonhonors #hilton #hiltonhotels #racism #racisminamerica #racismisreal @shaunking

Sin embargo la historia no ha quedado ahí. El hombre ha dicho que “buscará justicia” y es probable que encause una demanda millonaria contra la cadena hotelera Double Tree.

Esta se ha adelantado a los acontecimientos y expresó mediante un comunicado que “hubo algún malentendido” entre el cliente y el empleado, pues no se explican cuál fue el motivo de la expulsión, y alegan que en las instalaciones de esa cadena hotelera, NO se discrimina racialmente.

Lo más interesante es que la víctima tiene todo grabado en cámara y en el reporte de la policía no consta que hubo un “altercado” y por el contrario, la víctima se mostró cooperativa.

Dicho esto, ¿por qué lo expulsaron del hotel?

El afectado alega que el empleado quiso probar que tenía el control de la situación y que el motivo es discriminatorio totalmente.

En un post que colgó en la red social de Instagram al referirse al empleado del hotel, dijo:

“Earl es una desgracia, se llama a sí mismo un hombre pero llama al Departamento de Policía de Portland a un hombre que se estaba ocupando de sus propios asuntos en el vestíbulo de su hotel’. Tenía la llave de mi hotel en la mano toda la conversación, él sabía que yo era un huésped del hotel. Quería probar un punto y lo hizo de la peor manera. Realmente no me sorprendió que esto sucediera, sino que me decepcionó mucho ‘, continuó Massey, refiriéndose al guardia de seguridad.

“Estaré buscando justicia. Créeme”, agregó.
