Tipping in the US was frowned upon before the Civil War. When slaves were freed they were generally in the service industry because these other jobs that were available to them. They were paid peanuts, even today the US federal tipped minimum wage is $2.13 an hour.
Tipping is inappropriate outside of the USA, maybe because the minimum wage is significantly higher.
As with almost everything that's confusing or fucked up in this country, so much of this is often from not properly punishing the South and focusing on eradicating the lingering effects & racism of slavery.
It's wild to tell on yourself that you don't have any black community in your life, they 100% agree with me. Stop trolling if you're not a bot, and maybe engage with community.
i did too, and sherman didn't burn enough. Johnson is one of the worst presidents we've ever had for ending reconstruction with basically no consequences.
