A Texas man said this week that he was planning to sue W Hotel in Austin because an employee shouted a racial slur at him and then fractured his arm.

Bobby Beltran, 31, told KVUE that he was at the hotel bar entertaining friends who were in town for South by Southwest last week when a hotel employee told them that they were too drunk and had to leave. Beltran said that the employee was escorting them from the building when the confrontation occurred.

“He was walking behind me and he said, ‘That’s right, fag,’ and continued to walk me out of the building,” Beltran recalled. “I turned around, looked at him, and I got really hostile with him with my words, and said, ‘You know, that’s not right, you can’t be doing that stuff.’”

KVUE pointed out that there had been “a string of violent confrontations at local bars.” In several of those case, patrons claimed that they were attacked by bar bouncers.

1. Welcome to Texas...

... where everything is BIGGER, including the assholes.

2. What could go wrong in Texas?

I am amazed that Rick Perry never called for a wall around Austin.

3. " they were too drunk and had to leave"

Generally when someone is so drunk a bar will no longer serve them they have severe credibility problems.

5. Is that the truth, though?

Or was that just the excuse to make the "fag" leave?

10. It was Austin.

During the SXSW festival. Bars are not worrying about anyone's sexual orientation. They are there to make money. Generally a bar isn't going to throw anyone out unless they are being obnoxious with other customers or the staff.

12. Were you there?

[former9thward]

13. No, were you?

[Kingofalldems]

14. No, but I didn't comment on the incident as if I knew what happened.

15. I wonder why you didn't make that same post to all the others.

Hmmm, No I don't. If we are going to have that standard we will have very few posts here. Maybe you can make that change when you are King...

6. Martese Johnson too was allegedly drunk, agitated and belligerent

Martese Johnson too was allegedly drunk, agitated and belligerent as per local LEOs-- no doubt he also has credibility problems

[former9thward]

11. So now bars have to serve drunks?

Especially a 20 year old who is illegally trying to get into a bar and is pissed because they won't let him in. Yes, he does have credibility problems. Do you think the DOJ lied when they said "Hands up, don't shoot never happened"?

4. I'm sure that was just his deeply held religious belief nt

7. We must ask ourselves: whose arm would Jesus break?

8. I've been to SXSW because I thought Austin wasn't like the rest of Texas

but if this is to be expected at future SXSW festivals I'd rather save my money.

9. Not actually a "racial slur", but totally offensive.
