It's because, as many have mentioned, the story has some holes.

Very few restaurants can handle impromptu parties of 25 without inconvenience to someone. As someone who spent working 15 years in the restaurant biz, I can tell you that the black customers i have had with complaints have been awfully quick to impute racist motives to what were merely policy disputes or simple, honest errors.

THAT, to me, to assume that a white is a racist simply because they did something you don't like, is as offensive to me as anything I could say to a black person. And it's thrown around like it's nothing.

I've lived in the deep south for 35 years, and I've met very few people who would do anything other than bend over backwards to treat black people fairly. So the idea that there are these legions of white racists out there, just looking for confrontation with blacks, doesn't ring true to me. Maybe white people just can't help it?

Yea, well that pretty much says it all right there.

Why in the hell should anyone have to “bend over backward” to accommodate any particular group of people? I know what you are saying and yea I do see it all the time. That doesn't make it right. Maybe the place just didn't feel like kissing a little ass that night?
