Track 4: Blacks in a White Restaurant

So I'm currently in north Carolina, and of course it wouldn't be a trip to the South without some racist moment occurring. We went to this restaurant called Bonefish Grill on Market Street. Dinner was fine and service was great, considering we were a party of around sixteen. When we entered, we noticed we were the only blacks in the restaurant. There was a Lakers game that was about to come on while we were at dinner and earlier in the evening one of my cousins asked if they could change one of their large HD TVs to TNT to show the game. No response. When our meal ends, we ask once more. Again, the bartenders/waitresses by the tvs didn't even flinch when they were asked to change the channel. My mom called the manager over, which took close to five minutes for him to get to our table. The restaurant wasn't terribly busy, mind you. When he came my mom asked why our request wasn't completed and if it was policy to not change channels but he said that it wasn't a problem and apologized, though he kept insisting that the channel was changed, and we disagreed with him.

We were fine when we were paying, but once we made requests the staff became ignorant. And of course they don't see anything wrong with it either.
