My wife and I waited tables for a couple years during seminary. Much as I affirm and believe in racial harmony and reconciliation and recognize that there has been terrible discrimination (and still is in some cases) toward blacks --- There seemed to me to be tendency on the part of some black patrons in restaurants to work the h*ll out of white waitstaff then leave little or nothing for a tip. Most white waiters/waitresses who have served blacks, I would dare assert, have been on the receiving end of some racial remarks or treatment.

Racism, boorish behavior and bad manners can be indulged in no matter what your color.

I would not doubt that there are black patrons who take out their frustrations on white waitstaff, in some weird sort of revenge thing.
