This story seems a little confusing, when first you read it there is no doubt it was pure racism.
But then reading further down, the police had recently recommended that the restaurant started asking people to pay for their meal before dining, to combat a number of incidents where customers had left without paying.
Did these football players enter the diner with a certain attitude, which alerted the staff?
Had it been a group of over zealous white youths, that had been asked to 'pay up front', would there had been a story to write?

<<It appears the staff take a generalised racist view that any young black men are suspicious and potential thieves.>>
A total assumption made by you, with no proof whatsoever.
If the staff were to be taken to court over this and you were a witness, your assumption would never be allowed, in fact you would be laughed out of court.

They were not assumptions, they were questions, there is a difference.

where did you learn to speak english old git? Because your understanding of it is poor.
As i put in my post, the comment above was a 'judgement based on the report' and the facts that there was no other explanation and people had been retrained.
That is not an assumption. An assumption is taking a view with no information <<the act of taking for granted or supposing>>
For example, the way your starting point is that black people are inferior to you.
