They should've told them to take a hike, but the claim for 75k disgusts me too.

Unless some things happened that were drastically worse than what's described in the article, I don't see how the waiter is entitled to anything more than an apology from the company and a promise they won't accede to blatantly racist demands in the future.

What sort of tips do you think a racist would give a black waiter?

Nonsense. The hotel should refuse to do so, and people who disagree can go elsewhere.

I think 75k is fine

This is a good point. And it's unlikely he'll be continuing to work there, so... *NM*

I disagree. Those ridiculous claims are a major problem in America.

I would agree if he was demanding a million or 200k. *NM*

Why is 75k all right, but 200k not? Where do you draw the line, and why? *NM*

The line is arbitrary, I agree. Yet Legolas was against the mere idea of financial recompense

So you support the right of a hotel to deny lodgings or service to a black person?

If it isn't a money issue, I'd go - this shows how far they will accomodate their guests.

But it's the same principle - kicking someone out for something you don't like about them.
