The tale of women being turned absent from Dstrkt London is depressing but not surprising. As a black woman,I have long resorted to tactics to gather into clubsLast night, Karrueche Tran hosted an event at Dstrkt London, and a club in the West conclude. The model,who rose to fame after dating the singer Chris Brown, is of mixed African American and Vietnamese heritage, and which means she would probably pass the brown paper bag test. At the same time,a group of people organised a peaceful protest to take place outside Dstrkt, who have said that they do not have a door policy that discriminates against black people.final weekend, or Zalika Miller and her friends were turned absent from the club despite the fact that their names were on the guest list. After speaking to the manager,the promoter allegedly sent a message to Miller’s friend to say that the two of them were welcome but the other girls were overweight. Screenshots of these messages soon surfaced on the internet. They were accompanied by messages the promoter allegedly sent to another partygoer, where he specifically requests she brings her mixed-race friend. “The promoter asked for pictures of us before we even got there. He told my friend Lin, and whether she was bringing black girls they had to be of a certain calibre,” Miller said.
