And that's why everyone should support raising the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour. Read all about it in Politico:

The Racist History of Tipping

Quote:
You might not think of tipping as a legacy of slavery, but it has a far more racialized history than most Americans realize. Tipping originated in feudal Europe and was imported back to the United States by American travelers eager to seem sophisticated. The practice spread throughout the country after the Civil War as U.S. employers, largely in the hospitality sector, looked for ways to avoid paying formerly enslaved workers.


If this bill is passed, we can finally sort out the real racists by seeing who continues to tip.

Giving money to someone for services rendered is hardly racist. Even though the practice of giving tips may have had roots in racial inequality, the act itself isn't racist.

But.

You already knew that, and enjoy *trying* to make the absurd arguable. Right? Laughing
