Racism Shaped The Food & Restaurant Industry, BOTH Tipping Culture & Redlining Practices
MY FULL YOUTUBE VIDEO ON THE TOPIC IS RIGHT HERE NOW:

…Racism in the Food Industry, For a cook, sharing recipes, ideas, and inspiration is definitely well-suited to a video format. However, these opportunities are not often extended equally to everyone. Discrimination in the cooking industry, especially where TV and video are involved, has stifled the creativity of diverse contributors since the field’s inception. Paula Deen’s lawsuit, Bon Appétit’s scandal, and the controversies surrounding various restaurants are just a couple of the more high-profile incidents. In the following paragraphs, I will enumerate several of these notable incidents that have occurred throughout recent history, In March of 2012, Lisa Jackson, the former manager of Uncle Bubba’s Seafood & Oyster House (owned by Food Network star Paula Deen and her brother), filed a lawsuit against Deen and her brother for racism and vile behavior, She explained that black employees were held to a higher standard of performance, were called demeaning names, and were required to use separate bathrooms and entrances than white colleagues. Deen’s brother often made rude remarks and bad comments, which Paula was accused of enabling Paula admitted to wanting her brother’s wedding to have black tap dancers to simulate a time when black people waited on white people and to say the n word Yet Deen stars today in the latest season of MasterChef on Food Network, Rewarding her and her family’s behavior, ’m Through Being Silent About the Restaurant Industry’s and Culinary Arts Industry and Food Industries Racism, As a Black server and diner, I’ve seen how racism in the restaurant industry plays out on both sides of the table, Restaurants here flourished after the Civil War, a period when Black people in the hospitality sector were still technically working for free due to the widespread adoption of tipping, which allowed employers to avoid paying their workers. Racism literally shaped the restaurant landscape, too: Here on Long Island, where I live, the racist practice of redlining prevented Black restaurateurs from obtaining business loans or leasing buildings in particular towns — and thus denied them the same opportunities as their white counterparts, I never saw BIPOC (Black, indigenous, and people of color) in management, or even a Black bartender; most people of color were forced to remain in the back of house, or as bussers and runners in the front of house. And as a diner, I’ve seen how the industry’s culture of problematic racism plays out from the other side of the table, too I began working in restaurants in 2009, while attending grad school The first place I served was a corporate Southern-themed steakhouse on Long Island; not long after I started there, a coworker was fired for using bad language about a Black family who was dining with us, But when I returned to the industry in 2018, after a six-year hiatus, I discovered that my previous experiences were anomalies. One evening, while I was training as a server at a farm-to-table restaurant, I asked the trainer how she made recommendations. “Well, they’re Asian, so I recommended the octopus because Asians eat weird food,” she said of the table we’d just served. “Excuse me?” I replied sternly. She tried to backpedal, saying something about how “Italian guys” also loved octopus, ETC!!!
