That's where the asshat Representative that threw in his $0.02 worth into it all with is positional response to a lawyer's letter. Guess you didn't read the thread.

My parents have many adopted black children. Mom is a short, white blonde, and you should see some of the things that we've gone through when we all go out as a famdambly. Hell, I've been standing in line at a store with Mom and my little bro, while the cashier stared straight at us, but wouldn't budge to checkout our stuff. Then as soon as we moved over to the other aisle, she starts checking out the person that was standing right behind us. That was at a Nike Outlet in Tennessee.

I've had servers that would serve us at restaurants, but yet they have no problems serving tables right next to ours, even when things aren't busy.
