Even at the "upper end" franchise restaurants in the city (TGI Fridays, Applebee's) you don't really see white serversTo a certain extent, I've argued that NYC has chased out their lower end prole white class, especially Manhattan. If you're white, you're more likely to be able to be smart enough to find white collar work, or have the networking connections to find blue collar work*. In contrast, the blacks and Hispanics that work at these restaurants tend to be those who are looking for any opportunity even if they're commuting from the outer boros as there isn't much else for them to do. As for my experience in the heart of Nassau County, I'd note that the waiters are multi-ethnic at the chains, but that the diners and small restaurants may skew mostly white. I suspect that the chains are more afraid of lawsuits, but that the applicants "know better" in regards to their likelihood of being employed, and that many of the small restaurants basically ride on the labour of friends and family members. *Although, I wonder if the higher end non-chain restaurants are able to secure white staff with some selected non-white staff with better pay and benefits. |
