To the post above that mentioned the 'black culture of not tipping waiters very well.' I waited tables for a dozen years at the same cafe that served all strata and spectra of citizens, and never noticed this. Black people have always tipped me as well as white people, except where there was a group of Black Americans who seemed to be more working-class than professional class; THEN they might tip poorly, but only as poorly as similar-economic-class whites I've waited on.

What 'some' of us have is a watchful eye on the pocket. Some of us are not as blessed as others financially and therefore may scrimp where we can to avoid being broke. I find myself occasionally strapped for cash, but will try to tip anyway, because it is the proper thing to do. Not that I haven't considered not tipping when we have days when we have a while until pay day and have occasionally had to give an apology at certain times when I did not have much cash on hand.

Who says Chinese food is for Chinese people only?

I haven't noticed black people liking Chinese food any more than white people or Asian people but we all eat what's available! Be Kind, for everyone is fighting a great battle." -Plato
