They should've told them to take a hike, but the claim for 75k disgusts me too. Legolas Send a noteboard - 26/04/2010 12:48:45 AM
Unless some things happened that were drastically worse than what's described in the article, I don't see how the waiter is entitled to anything more than an apology from the company and a promise they won't accede to blatantly racist demands in the future.

British family tells US hotel they 'do not want to deal with black staff' Aisha - 26/04/2010 12:35:55 AM 1521 Views

yeah seriously Aisha - 26/04/2010 01:13:54 AM 747 Views
What sort of tips do you think a racist would give a black waiter? Cannoli - 26/04/2010 04:45:15 AM 990 Views
Nonsense. The hotel should refuse to do so, and people who disagree can go elsewhere. Ghavrel - 26/04/2010 05:03:22 AM 780 Views
I think 75k is fine AgentOrange - 26/04/2010 08:25:51 AM 773 Views
This is a good point. And it's unlikely he'll be continuing to work there, so... *NM* Ghavrel - 26/04/2010 08:46:30 AM 301 Views
I disagree. Those ridiculous claims are a major problem in America. Legolas - 26/04/2010 10:31:46 AM 772 Views
I would agree if he was demanding a million or 200k. *NM* AgentOrange - 26/04/2010 05:46:53 PM 295 Views
Why is 75k all right, but 200k not? Where do you draw the line, and why? *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 26/04/2010 05:48:18 PM 313 Views
The line is arbitrary, I agree. Yet Legolas was against the mere idea of financial recompense AgentOrange - 26/04/2010 11:41:52 PM 727 Views
Fucked up from every angle possible. LiterateDog - 26/04/2010 02:26:39 AM 792 Views

So you support the right of a hotel to deny lodgings or service to a black person? Cannoli - 26/04/2010 04:35:04 AM 952 Views
say what? Aisha - 26/04/2010 05:16:52 AM 855 Views

I'm with you there. LiterateDog - 26/04/2010 06:32:00 AM 722 Views
Yes, I'm sure the press will pull out all the stops ßelals Girl - 26/04/2010 06:33:48 AM 739 Views
What a shocker. *NM* LiterateDog - 26/04/2010 06:37:55 AM 293 Views
If it isn't a money issue, I'd go - this shows how far they will accomodate their guests. Cannoli - 26/04/2010 11:25:46 AM 729 Views
Oh, you silly naive little girl. Cannoli - 26/04/2010 11:38:34 AM 808 Views
baaahahahaha LadyLorraine - 26/04/2010 05:11:42 PM 991 Views
But it's the same principle - kicking someone out for something you don't like about them. Cannoli - 26/04/2010 11:34:55 AM 892 Views

Have any of you stayed at a Ritz-Carlton? Jeordam - 26/04/2010 06:09:25 PM 919 Views
I can't even afford to stay at a Motel 6 Belals Girl - 26/04/2010 06:16:47 PM 773 Views
