Chinese restaurant refuses to serve blacks -- in Kenya

[fast]

It's not their fault discriminatory actions are offensive. That's an unfortunate consequence of being discriminatory. One can want one thing and not want the consequences of doing it. They are setting out not to offend but to keep them out, and if they could keep them out without offending they would, so the apology isn't for doing what they wanted to happen but rather for what happened they didn't want to happen.

OK ... parse that logic out for me a bit more, because I'm not seeing what you're getting at.

I am a Chinese restaurant owner in Kenya who doesn't want blacks coming into my restaurant in the evening. Explain to me exactly how I would go about doing that in a non-offensive manner.

If there are zero ways that this could happen (as it seems to me to be the case), then it is entirely my fault that my actions are offensive. If there's no way for me to do the action without causing offense, then it's not an "unfortunate consequence" of the action, then it's the inevitable (and in this case blatantly easily forseeable) consequence of the action and I can't go around trying to duck my responsibility for causing the offense.

I honestly don't see a difference between what you're saying and the statement "Well, I just wanted to have sex with the unconscious woman. I wasn't trying to rape anybody".

If you can't do something without it causing something else and that's blatantly obvious before you do it, then that other thing is entirely your fault.

It was the "funny" part I was addressing.

She really wanted to skip the rock to see it bounce across the water, and yes, she knew it would eventually sink, but she wasn't thinking about that, as all she was focused on is seeing it skip along the water. What (in analogy) would of been laughable had an apology followed?

There's two things you might say she's responsible for: what she did and what happened afterwards. Is she responsible for skipping the rock? Of course, and is she responsible for the rock sinking? Well, yes, what idiot wouldn't know beforehand that had she not skipped the rock, it wouldn't have sank.

She apologizes, but listen close to what's being said. I'm not sorry, not sorry one iota for skipping the rock. I'm sorry that the rock sank. I take responsibility for my actions and understand it would not have sank had I not skipped the rock.

If your statement is correct and they actually apologized for causing offense, we cannot logically exclude the possibility that they were not apologetic for banning black people after 5:00

You found it laughable ("funny") for a good reason, and you pointed out your reason. I just thought there was room for this having been doubly disingenuous of an apology if by chance their apology was limited to causing offense and not the action responsible for it.
