A white South African waitress who was refused a tip by an Oxford student involved in the Rhodes Must Fall campaign has received more than $6,000 in "sympathy" tips after an online campaign on her behalf.
Cape Town restaurant employee Ashleigh Shultz was allegedly told by activist Ntokozo Qwabe that he would not give her any service charge on his bill until her "fellow white people" returned South Africa's land to its black population.
In an encounter that he described on Facebook, Mr Qwabe gleefully recounted that Ms Shultz had "burst into typical white tears", adding that he was "unable to stop smiling" after the incident.
His post drew a furious response online, with Mr Qwabe accused of bullying behaviour. Defenders of Ms Shultz have since raised $6,495 for her, according to a Gofundme page set up in her support.
"The young lady was not declined a tip for her service, she was declined a tip for being white," said one poster on the page, Jonathan Weltman, who accused Mr Qwabe of acting like the kind of bigot he professed to oppose.
The Rhodes Must Fall movement has campaigned for the removal of a statue of colonialist Cecil Rhodes from Oxford's Oriel College.
Mr Qwabe is a Rhodes scholar at Oxford University, and receives money from the Rhodes estate to study.

More true than you can believe. Even BLACK servers cringe when they see large black parties sat at their station.

INGRATE!..........................and a HYPOCRITE!.....................HE SURE AS HELL DOESN'T MIND WHITE MONEY..................
SA will become ZIMBABWE II...............................
Interesting... here in the US, blacks cannot be racists because they are the minority. Even if a black man shouts racial slurs and kills a white person, our university professors and media tell us they are the minority so they cannot be racist!
But in South Africa, whites are the minority! The whites should wise up and use this!
Yup.
Cecil must be rolling over - nay, spinning! - in his grave. Mr Qwabe wants the RSA to return to its tribal roots. I'm sure that will work out well.
Why is she wearing a lamp shade?
I know I shouldn't laugh but.... LOL!
Best tippers are middle aged to older men
Ask my wife she used to be a server at a nice steakhouse in the 80s
Our best friends both work as bartender servers in a very nice joint in the fancy part of greater Nashville
Same thing.....in fact she ...the wife .....and I were just talking about this just yesterday
Don’t you just love it when people think that the color of their skin makes it okay if they’re douchebags?
The sad likelihood is that, given the state of the PCdiot class, he’ll probably be applauded back at school.
Why is he lifting his leg as if he has to go to the bathroom?
that boy will never get a restaurant meal that hasn’t been spit on by a wait person.
But I thought Cecil Rhodes was one of those rich people who are Secretly Behind Communism?
Amen to that.Years ago when I bartended we had a group of them stay at the .motel for about a month. Drove all our regulars away and no tips. I called it the Great Black Out.
Bill Clinton and Wesley Clark both had Rhodes scholarships.
Yes I am aware.
I don't know if FReepers are aware of this, but according to the standard John Birch Society conspiracy theory, Cecil Rhodes was an "Insider"--one of the super-rich who use the Left as a front to centralize all productive property into a state monopoly and to bring about a "one world government." It's kind of ironic seeing him attacked by the Left and defended by the Right.
True.
Not just the “John Birch” theory.
Rhodes own actions spell that out.
It’s really telling to look at the first 80 years or so of Rhodes Scholars and what they did with their lives compared with those since the mid 80s
Just damn sad.....it’s now a segue to a politically correct deconstruction of western civilization
Poor Rhodes....he would be miserable in this world
