TORONTO, CANADA (CBC/CNN) - A Toronto man is speaking out after winning a human rights complaint against a restaurant.
He alleged the eatery discriminated by asking that his group to pre-pay for their food. It was supposed to be a celebration. Emile Wickham and three black friends went to Hong Shing to celebrate his 28th birthday four years ago. But when they ordered, they were asked to pre-pay. They were told it was a restaurant policy. They asked other customers if they were also required to pre-pay, though, and they found out no one else had to do that. So the group left. "When we got outside, that's when the anger turned into sadness and dejection,” Wickham said. “This was a time for us to unwind, and the fact we couldn't do that in a city that really plays up its multiculturalism really said something. And I decided there that night, that I was going to stand up to this." --------------- Wow Don. Us southern boys don't treat dark-skinned folks like this. What the hell are y'all doing up there? |
