    Wilkins admitted to wearing track pants. Clearly against their posted dress code. I don’t see the issue here. Oh wait, I forgot they were designer, expensive track pants. Yeah, they’re racist. If it’s expensive and designer then clearly it’s formal wear. But another individual wearing non-branded track pants getting turned away is fine.

    also i looked the place up on facebook and the people that tagged themselves there celebrating a good time with all their friends are all black women , so now i'm starting to wonder because if every single customer that tag the restaurant on facebook eating there is black , it seems weird that they would randomly choose this one guy to not serve , also the picture of the staff has black and latino people in it . i'm starting to rethink my thoughts on this racist angle

      I live in Atlanta,Ga know where the restaurant is located, been there, never had any problems.It's a friendly environment, good vibes. Not sure why Dominique would go to the race card. Back when Dominique had a night club in Atlanta years ago his mother worked the front door. My name would be on the guest list and she still gave me hell to get in. My point is stop calling everything that doesn't go your way racism. 'Nique you were wrong on this one and you should be ashamed.

    From seeing the pics here and seeing some of the reviews, from both blacks and non-blacks alike, clearly it has more to do with "dress code" and really nothing to do with race. Just from the few reviews I read from whites, they were on occasion turned away for wearing the same type of clothing. I think that's stupid and ridiculous. It's not like these people were running around the place bare naked, or being loud and causing a disturbance or wearing smelly, dirty old stuff or something along those lines. Under those type of circumstances, I could understand that. Otherwise, people have a right to wear what they want. Furthermore, you're there to serve them. They don't serve you. They're your business and what's putting money in your pockets.

    I think most actual specific dress code policies are specifically (and generally) problematic (if not totally classist or sub-culturalist) but also partially in the eye of the beholder. On the other hand, private businesses do not have to serve anyone, or even be polite, unless it is based primarily or exclusively because of specific very-limited criteria (dress-codes not being one of the criteria)*. I am totally against dress codes to a point (i.e. dressing like a stripper half way through their strip or a smelliest-homeless person contest contestant, would be a bit much for me but wouldn't necessarily cause me to want to discriminate). I grew up in Europe in the 1960s-70s when grown ass people wearing shorts and/or flip-flops or wearing a baseball or cricket or school cap to most informal public venues was considered downright immature if not merely crass or disrespectful, i.e they were considered almost as much faux-pas than wearing underwear over one's trousers is now,. Most Europeans don't see things that way as much anymore (such is the ubiquitousness of American slop culture and resilience of European snob-couture culture). Some may exclaim the restaurant incident was just another case of 'cry racism' (a modified form of 'cry wolf') or 'oppression paranoia' (i.e. minority or majority groups that are in fact, in other cases, actually discriminated against by another minority or majority group, but for obvious reasons, nevertheless engender a higher probability of misinterpreting motive or painting an entire staff or institution or section as being discriminatory for reasons other than what the 'victim' assumes from vaguely-or-mostly-similar previous experiences they've had - i.e. the pre-supposition of discrimination in cases of actual oppression paranoia is another form of psychological 'projection'). 'Oppression paranoia' is always based on a general truth but not a specific truth and is noticeably worse problem in the US than in many similar per-capita income countries, something that is readily obvious to many people, of all races and genders (etc), who visit or live extendedly in the US for the first time ever after living in multiple other nations. 'Oppression paranoia' is also one of the hardest types of paranoia to prove, disprove, or resolve, I give you two examples (out of hundreds I've witnessed, some experienced): (1) I worked as a desk clerk for tenants of a lowest-income residential hotel, where about 35% of the tenants were black (I'm white), and for decades I have had a hard time remembering anyone's face let alone name (not optimal for a residential desk clerk), and one of the more interactive tenants George (he's black), that I initially friendly-bantered with for my first six shifts asked me in a matter of fact non-accusatory tone (after I had confused three other [black] men's faces, strangers-to-me, names and ID cards, demanding in a very rude and unfriendly manner for me to hurry up and return their ID cards and fill out paperwork (as per regulations), and almost got beat up over it for being too slow and then for being too fast and giving all three the wrong ID cards as they raced out the door without looking if they had the proper ID cards), George witnessed this and said, "your racist, you think all black people look alike", I answered, "hey! all white people look alike to me, all people look alike to me!" [at which point he cracked out laughing and we became friendly 'at work' buddies after that], I continued to George, "almost everyone looks like someone else to me, I've met literally 10,000s of people mostly though public relations jobs I've had, everyone looks like at least a half dozen people I've met, most of the only people that I remember relatively quickly are people that really stand out for me, which could be anyone no matter who or what they are, but I eventually remember faces and names after a half dozen or less times, it just takes me a lot of time, however I learn faster the more embarrassed or humiliated I am per specific incident"; (2) more than half of white Americans suffer from 'oppression paranoia' to some too-frequent degree or another (same goes for all races, however, usually races or groups that have been historically + contemporaneously been oppressed the most, tend to be more 'oppression paranoid'), those that suffer from oppression paranoia usually automatically assume if a black person is rude to them or merely annoying, it's because they generally have a certain amount of disdain for white people and culture, usually the first thing that occurs to them isn't that the person is just being rude or annoying, it's because the person must have something against white people (a reversed situation for all races or groups, is obviously true too). The particular dress code for this establishment is nonsensically-discriminatory (e.g. shortish shorts and miniskirts and some T-shirts and sneakers are OK but sweatpants or leggings are not - unbalanced or unfair requirements for most people). However, that said the law is obviously on the side of the establishment, and legally-rightfully so in a democracy and it's accompanying freedom of association, and it's not too much or a moral-evil to require a dress code or 'uniform' as such. The celebrity guy who 'cried racism' should have just turned around and gone somewhere else like I would have done without adolescent whining about something he didn't even bother to understand more than or beyond his presumption, but he didn't, in a classic case of 'oppression paranoia' and 'self-centeredness' he assumed it was because he's black and they are targeting him and not anyone else, when in fact there were other black guests and staff there and everyone was being polite if not overly-happy-friendly to him (contemporary Americans more than most tend to think all customer service revolves around them personally and expect people serving them to act like their friend and actual personal servant), all the other guests were complying by the dress code, unbalanced or unfair that dress-code may be to some. The restaurant host 'looking me up and down' that the celebrity mentioned could mean anything, I personally find that looking someone up and down to be obnoxious and very irritating (unless it's automatic well meaning behavior, like when I come across a woman I'm suddenly extremely attracted to, of course the woman, or even I myself right away, may not realize this, depending on her present-capacity for intuition and the unconscious exchange of feeling intent, so to speak), but looking people up and down is quite common in American culture and can mean almost anything, good or bad or both. And as you know, in order to determine if someone is complying with a dress code, what does someone else have to do? Answer: look at that person from head to foot (or in reverse order). Maybe the celebrity had never been anywhere with a dress code before (except for the basketball court uniform and possible related off-court public-relations 'formal-wear' expectation pressure) or didn't realize dress-codes outside certain work-place occupations aren't as uncommon as he thought, that would actually make his over-reaction slightly more understandable.
    *note: to many outsiders visiting or residing in the US, the US is, ironically, considered a very caste-classist slave-like culture when it comes to work, employee-employer, and business-customer relations. Prior to the Americanization of world pop-culture, which really took off in the 1980s, few cultures outside the US literally-believed in the sociopathic mantra of "the customer is always right", because it's considered a slave-like mentality. "Boss" originated form the Dutch word for a sea captain, but what people don't realize is that a sea captain in the 1600s had slave-overseer-like power over most of the people under their charge, Americans adopted the word "boss" after "master" became considered to be a bit too revealing, by the mid-1700s the word 'mister' had changed its meaning over time, from 'master' to refer to any person who owned property and was at least a 'social-equal' to another person (i.e. it was considered a faux-pas for an aristocrat or ship-building magnate to refer to an underling under them that owns property, as a "sir", thus connoting a higher or equal class rank, thus connoting class-within-class-specific laws, freedoms and regulations, etc). Until the 1900s in parts of the US (and elsewhere), one could get publicly whipped (yes, including white folks) who became too uppity and started wearing certain types of clothes or adopting certain types of greetings beyond their 'social station'. Note: "missus/Mrs." (a more friendly or sublimated version of "mistress") and "madame" (etc) are still in common use today, as is the common use of "mister/Mr." (a more friendly or sublimated version of "meister"/"master"). The English word "sir" until the early/mid-1600s during the creation of a permanent standing army (under the short decade rulership of non-king Oliver Cromwell) was until then used exclusively concerning social/societal relationships of a martial/military officer's relationship to serf-like/slave-like underlings, such as a Knight (an often non-hereditary, i.e. earned, aristocratic title of the lowest aristocratic-order dating back to the early middle ages) and a military (and much later additionally a policing-function) officer called a 'martial', who was of upper-peasant or 'notable peasant' stock (i.e. from what is considered the artisan classes, which could range from gourmet-chefs and specialized-metallurgists to independent midsized-farm or mill owners to heads of banking companies to specialized-trade ship captains). Similar arrangements and changes existed relatively contemporaneously in other European countries, however some class-structure relationships evolved much slower overall (like in Austria and other nations) than in Britain and other nations.
