Is Yelp going to clarify that only white or Asian business owners can actually be accused of racism?

Accused? Not proven?

What if a white customer is mistreated by a black employee?

I’ve never used Yelp much because I don’t want to download their stupid app. This is just another reason not to download it.

I think this is a great idea. I will leave anonymous yelp reviews accusing my favorite restaurants of being racist. Certain groups of people will avoid said restaurants for fear of racism. Therefore, my dining experience, and the staff’s workplace environment, will be much more pleasurable.

Even so it’s better than hundreds of reviews pouring in.

Not the best solution but a step up from the previous.

It states in the article that the business has to be accused of racism by a news media, and the article will be linked to the business.

Good thing we don’t put people in prison for murder because the news media reported they’re accused of it.

Does Yelp need permission from a business to add their profile?

Terrible company. Not because of this policy but because they want me to sign up for their app when on my phone just to view reviews.
