The problem is those relying on tips that are successful will not see the problem until they’re too old to be taken seriously by the hit new generation that replaced them. Sure, the ideal solution is the workers wake up, but they have no material reason to if a majority of them are successful specifically due to that discrimination.
It’s a microcosm of greater oppression dynamics, one that in order to self improve would require those benefiting to take the side of those being oppressed, only that’s not likely as even moreso than large oppressive systems, those benefiting have absolutely no motivation to improve until they are no longer favored and thus are powerless.
Therefore the solution has to come from the consumer of the services. There are plenty of places to eat that don’t require tips, and only old people and the extremely rich go to bars, simply choose better. Yes those currently working will suffer like those they push out of the industry for being too black or too ugly, but they can always model or strip or learn a different skill.
and only old people and the extremely rich go to bars,
What? That is not a factual statement without some extremely non standard definitions of old and rich.
Yes those currently working will suffer like those they push out of the industry for being too black or too ugly, but they can always model or strip or learn a different skill.
And I gather that’s a sacrifice you’re willing to let them make. Do you work for tips? Do any of your friends? Do you have any personal skin in this game?
I think there’s some small amount of common ground between us, but there’s also a hefty divide.
