Complaint: Virginia skill games ban is racial discrimination June 30, 2021 GMT ROANOKE, Va. (AP) — A group of Asian American business owners in Virginia has requested that the state’s attorney general investigate what they say is racial discrimination in a pending ban on electronic skill games in their stores. The Roanoke-based Asian American Business Owners Association asked Attorney General Mark Herring’s office to effectively block the ban that’s set to go into effect Thursday by refusing to enforce it, the Richmond-Times Dispatch reported. “In recent years, gaming has been embraced by the commonwealth when it is enjoyed by the privileged in fancy casinos or by children in ‘family entertainment centers,’” the complaint filed on Saturday says. “But that very same activity is not acceptable when offered by Asian American owned convenience stores or enjoyed by minority or marginalized populations.”
