Yes, Sally you are probably right on that score.
But I am not sure I have the stomach to end every solicitation with "and... err... by the way... I am a black expatriate... is that going to be a problem?"
It is probably easier for them to say "... and I don't do greek, rimming, people of colour, toys..." I.e. build it into their services on offer speech.
I think that what most of the girls really mean "right of admission reserved," and that is fair. Just as many restaurants will not let you through the door in your shorts and t-shirt, the girl's not only have high standards to maintain, they also have their personal safety and health to keep in mind.
I believe that most of the girls with race preferences are not racist; they are just trying to eliminate risk. The point I was trying to make was that race is increasingly becoming and unreliable mechanism for segmenting and filtering out high risk clientele because the bastards out there increasingly come in all races and creeds.
Clearly it is going to be impossible to evaluate the potential risk (personal security and health) of a prospective client, over the phone.
Perhaps instead of trying to establish whether or not a prospective client has an African accent, what they should be doing is trying to position the prospect relative to their environment. For example, they could ask, “where did you find out about me?” and then use that response to gauge the next question or the potential risk – e.g. if the response is “… oh from escortsa.com” or “… you were referred by a friend, Thomas…” then she can position the prospect relative to 1)his access to internet in a private environment (i.e. private office or study at home) or 2)does the name Thomas ring any bells, why didn’t this referral also give directions to her place, etc.
