    We don't tip black people, note to Virginia waitress said

    Customers at a restaurant in Virginia are rallying to support a black waitress who received a a racist note instead of a tip at the weekend.
    Waitress Kelly Carter said a couple had written on the receipt: "Great service don't tip black people."
    Owner Tommy Tellez told BBC News the response has been "phenomenal".
    People have been dropping by the restaurant to give Ms Carter cash, Mr Tellez said, and a YouCaring campaign has raised over $300 (£245) for her.
    Her regular customers have been dropping by to give her hugs.
    Tipping is customary in the US, where restaurant servers often earn less than the minimum wage, with tips supposed to make up the difference in pay.
    The white couple who left the note appeared to be in their mid-20s, and left after spending $30.52 (£25) on food.

    There isn't really anything to discuss here other than race issues, which is a banned topic, so I'm locking this here.
