Platner responded to a 2013 post on Reddit entitled "What is one question you have always wanted to ask someone of another race," writing, "Why don't black people tip?" He worked as a bartender at Tune Inn on Capitol Hill, where he was a guest bartender last month.


"I work as a bartender and it always amazes me how solid this stereotype is," he wrote. "Every now and again a black patron will leave a 15-20% tip, but usually it [is] between 0-5%. There's got to be a reason behind it, what is it?"

That same year, he also responded to a post about underwear designed to prevent sexual assault saying people should "take some responsibility for themselves and not get so f—-ked up they wind up having sex with someone they don't mean to?"

Yeah fuck this guy.
