Instagram An Oregon hotel is accused of racial profiling a black guest after a security guard called the police about him being in the lobby. A black guest at an Oregon hotel is accusing the staff of racially profiling him after the police were called on him as he made a phone call in the lobby. When Massey questions the security guard about why he was confronted about being in the lobby and while other guests weren’t similarly questioned, the guard tells him that it was because he was loitering. “How am I loitering in an area that’s public?” Massey responds. “You’re sitting here.” “So this area is off limits after a certain time?” “Only if you’re a guest.” “I am a guest.” “You didn’t tell me that,” the guard responds.
