Hm.

Supposed eyewitness account from an employee:

I know it doesn’t fit your narrative. Another quote from a girl who works there: (and you can find all of this with a simple Google search.) “You’re only getting one side of story here. I work at the restaurant and your representation of the events is way off base. The group was being loud and obnoxious to both customers and staffers. They kept complaining about their long wait and were talking about how “whitey” was able to get seated, but they were not. The problem was that they had a large group and insisted on sitting next to each other. We only had one area that could accommodate their large group and the patrons in that area were not done. So yes, some “whities” were able to be seated before them, but only because they were going to a different area. We also seated non-whites in other areas too…They made this a racial issue before anything. One of the guests also insulted a deaf white girl because she didn’t respond to one of them telling her to move (she was deaf and didn’t hear them) They were also all standing in the middle of the walk way, making it difficult for customers to leave. We asked them if they could move over, but they said they can stand wherever they want, and if we wanted them out of the way then we should seat them. The customer that was offended was offended by a particular individual’s constant uses of the word “n*gger” When asked to stop, he threw out a long string of racial epithets against one of my co-workers.”

I am not sure where this originates from. If true, then it complicates the story. Large groups are hard to seat, and you can wait a long time for an entire section to open up. Also, if someone in the group was being aggressive and using inappropriate language, then the restaurant would have the right to ask them to leave. Again, I do not know if this is true.
