Really? Even at the "upper end" franchise restaurants in the city (TGI Fridays, Applebee's) you don't really see white servers, you mostly see black workers and to a lesser extent hispanic workers

????????????????????????????
That couldn't be further from the truth.

although I guess in the suburbs where there are more white people applying for those jobs it's different.


Well obviously. An "Applebees" in a Black neighborhood will have more Black workers than an Applebees in a white neighborhood. Most of the franchise restaurants I go to are usually in "white neighborhoods", so usually the servers are white.

However, a few months ago I ate with some friends at the TGI Fridays in Central Islip on Carleton Ave, which is a Black/Hispanic neighborhood, and most of the servers were Black or Hispanic. Even the bartender was Black. But it makes sense. I would hope places like these would hire people "from the neighborhood" they are a part of, and apparently they do in most cases.
