The National Human Rights Commission consented to a golf club that refused the man's membership because of his tattoos. It is for the reason that showing tattoos can make people scared and the man has multiple tattoos on his chest.
The NHRC members said as follows:
"It doesn't encroach on human rights. A golf club is private he can also play golf without a membership so it doesn't seem to be discrimination."
However, it is not a unanimous opinion because tattoos can be the expression of oneself and the fear comes from prejudice. The commissioners who agreed with the tattooed man said that the majority of the commissioners misunderstood their role.
Yes, if the man disgusts other people, the golf club can do that because the golf club has its right to manage their members.

However, on the point of human rights, the golf club is unfair. Of course, as they said, there are so many tattooed men who are gangsters but it is prejudice. This is because some people now considered it as art. And it is not fair to judge a person's nature by appearance. If you watched the TV Program, "Martian Virus", you can have a different idea. A man who was a gangster with tattoos wanted to become a singer so he discarded his group.

(He said that he wanted to be a singer even though he should discard his group.)
The human rights say that everyone is equal before the law. So, is it right that the NHRC judges a person by appearance? How can you solve this problem? on the point of the human rights? or the commercial supremacy?
