>As it turns out, black families usually don't tip (or tip very little), and white males usually tip a lot. What ends up happening is waiters fight to get the tables with white males, and adjust their service for each (better service for while males, poor service for black families).

And that creates a feedback loop. It is absolutely true that black people generally tip less, and that waitstaff generally seat them badly and give terrible service. Even black waitstaff get caught up in it with experience. Tipping is the problem here.
