to me.

I grew up in Mississippi, and worked in a small fern bar chain in the area. The kitchen was very diverse, and although there were some black servers / bartenders / greeters, it wasn't proportional to the population or the kitchen.

That being said, it was one of the most professional management teams I've ever worked with, and I'm sure they had no issues with hiring minorities. They even promoted one of the black servers into the management training program until he went off the deep end (stopped showing up), so this makes as much sense as anything else I've heard.
