Tennessee? You’re a Northerner!

Seriously, what I mean then, fellow Southern, is that at least down here in these parts I hail from, there are just too many blacks to avoid them in the situation you describe. Although with the illegal aliens taking all the jobs, that soon might end for the restaurant business, even down in parts where blacks are half the population.
I get what you mean; we’re quasi-southerners here in TN, I guess. (I actually was raised in NY state.) Still, I’m not inclined to each where I think my food might be unsafe for any reason. I never “send it back” to the kitchen, either.
