[quote=Anonymous]I question all receipts like this, because as someone raised in a racist home with siblings who still hold those values, I'm aware that people who are racist generally don't broadcast it (obviously some do, but many are smart, successful, lead normal lives... and hate blacks, Asians, Latinos, etc).  I've been out to meals with my brother and he never tips a server of color because he'll find a million reasons why they're lazy and don't deserve it, or slighted him in some way (I overtip).  But he'd never write that on the receipt in a million years.

I find it hard to believe that a man would actually write "Great service, don't tip black people."  Someone who is going to refuse to tip based on race would never admit that the service was great, because then he'd have to admit that he's an unfair person.  Racists believe they are justified in their beliefs and actions because the other group deserves their contempt.  I mean, sure it could happen, but I don't think it's wrong to at least be skeptical.[/quote]
