Tipping While Black

An excerpt from Salon -

Yes, black people do tip — even when we shouldn’t have to
If you're dining out while black, you can't leave less than 20 percent, no matter how terrible the service is
By D. WATKINS

My larger point was that “black people don’t tip” is a pervasive stereotype that floats around restaurants and we often automatically get bad service because of it. So I had to tip this guy even though I hated the service and the food. If I didn’t, I would be perpetuating the stereotype.
