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?
