A Jersey City restaurant ended its silence on claims and a video that showed an apparent racist double standard for Black and white customers, but the statement has only made some community leaders angrier.
In a post on Instagram, the popular Ashford said it is “anti-racist” and “has a multi-racial ownership group, a multi-racial staff, and serves a multi-racial community.”
The Downtown eatery had drawn scorn from the community in the past over an initial dress code that appeared to be aimed at keeping out Black customers. The issue was revived Saturday when Charles “CJ” Pace, a 25-year-old Black man, was told he and friends had to eat outside because his “joggers” violated the restaurant dress code.
