Restaurant Racism in Beijing

It seems that Beijing has its own fair share of racism whenit comes to serving patrons in restaurants. We've already got two restaurants on our "hit" list bcause they seem to be racist against .... chinese folks. It seems that expats are so feted and fawned over as some of the more upscale restaurants that any vaguely Chinese looking person in the group will often get ignored (completely). We've had cases of business cards being handed out (but not to the chinese), small gifts being given away (but not the chinese) and introductions being made (again, not to the chinese).
It's just crazy bhavior if you ask me. I think building a restaurant in Beijing to only cater to foreign-looking expats is a bad idea and word will eventually get around. For one thing, there's enough asian-looking expats that makes this practice dangerous. Beyond that, there's plenty of rich Chinese out there; why on earth would you alienate them?
