This reminded me of what happened when I lived in South Carolina.... The team of analysts I worked with was primarily female and black. (something like 10/12) So when we would go to lunch, it would be me the white man and several black women. The very first time I went with them they told me the waitress would give me the check for everyone. And, when it was time, she did. This happened multiple times. They told me it was because people assumed I was the boss taking his employees out for dinner.
