Episode: Why Is My Restaurant Server Always White?
Description: When you get your check at a restaurant, there’s a good chance your server is white.

That’s why some Oakland city leaders want to offer incentives to restaurants that diversify their staff. But why should the city have to coax (and pay) restaurants to do this?
