So the only way blacks can be racist is if whites provoke them?

It's only "racist" if a stereotype about black people not tipping exist and stereotypes are usually based in reality.

Just let the servers be racist if they want to!!

I think that's what you meant to say.

why
Why would an owner comp their meal when the waiter and manager admitted to adding a tip to their bill because of their skin color...is that your question?

If one is racist, they have no one else to blame but themselves for being racist.

That goes for all skin colors. It's weak as hell to excuse racism.

So did the manager actually say they racially profiled them? Or did they just simply prejudge them.

Neither should happen, but unless they are doing those to all black people and not just this one time then I don't see how you can call it racist. Not without assuming something about the server.

For one, you don’t know what systemic racism means


I know exactly what it means. I just don’t believe it’s true. You can try to change my mind if you want. You can start by supplying any evidence that that it exists and how we can measure it.

Two, in your opinion, why was 20% added to their bill? Just curious


Because 2 servers stereotyped a black couple. Pretty straight forward.

That’s short sighted, and frankly easy to say as a white person.

Shel there are still people alive that dealt with segregation. It wasn’t that long ago. We have generations to go before we break the harm white people caused.

Because I enjoy rubbing his face in his own stupidity and racism.

It was over half a century ago.

You have one generation out there that had to deal with it. Quit advocating for victim hood in perpetuity.

This right here is simply AMAZING

You just blamed the victim. You just stated that black people being racist is a result of the behavior of white people.

Yet I can guarantee you will not admit that white or even police treat black people different because they commit 50% of the violent crime in this country.

How do you not see the hypocrisy here?

Lester is just projecting his own racism again. Like I said, it's the calling card for people who believe in CRT/Systemic Racism.

The only way to get rid of the stereotype is to show that we not only tip, but we tip well.


But for quality service. We don’t want to reward poor service, but I get you. You’re one of the good guys in life, and suffice it to say it’s not just blacks that stiff the wait staff. There are plenty of country come to town white people that do the exact same thing, not giving shite one about the person they’re sticking it to. Not tipping your server is one of the most low rent things there is IMO. These people live off of that, and it only screws all of us when the good servers leave to pursue other endeavors because they can’t pay their bills, and what we’re left with is bad service all around.

I think it’s an American thing to fashion servers as “the help” when really good service should really be regarded as a profession, and not just “the help”. The more we regard it as a profession the more we will experience more professional service as a result of that IMO.

This is too good to let go

Let me use your logic and make an equivalent statement

“There will always be a server that adds 20% to the bill as long as some black people don’t tip well”

Are you cool with that?

They can kiss their tips goodbye now. They’ll be flooded with SJWs and the Woke crowd, order extravagant meals, eat the whole thing, then complain and want it comped and still not leave a tip


That restaurant is dead now.
