I never really noticed casual racism until I hired a black man as a waiter at my restaurant.

Now there are issues such as a meal item being wrong, but those types of errors are almost evenly distributed across all staff. But these complaints about standing around, meandering, are always directed towards him, and when I check on the issue he’s always doing something job related. Hell the guy has about a 100% record for coming in when called in or asked to stay late. He has a great work ethic.

But Jesus fucking Christ it’s interesting and very sad to see some of the shit I’m sure many African Americans have to put up with.
