I’m not sure if this qualifies as a “hate crime” about eight years ago my then wife and were passing through South Bend late at night. First let me say that I am white and my ex is black mixed with another race. We stopped into a Dennys to eat. Nobody came over and greeted us. They were a little busy, but had plenty of extra tables. Every time I tried to get a waitress’s attention they blew me off and told me just a moment. We watch two or three families walk into the restaurant after us and get seated right away.
It became obvious pretty quick what was going on. She said a few choice words out loud so everyone could hear, and we walked out. I haven’t been to a Dennys since then.
