excellent! congratulations.
Chuck Ross??? Ross??? Whaaaaaat? I feel so lied to?
But seriously, that will take some getting used to. You should have kept your ‘stage name.’
Congrats on the piece at Taki’s. If you ever need access to any articles published in academic journals or anything behind a paywall, then let me know. I can usually get them.
“left wing victimization claptrap” Naomi Riley nailed it.
Along the same lines I remember reading an expert analysts’ comment about MLK’s speeches and writings, it was something like this, “I found it hard to find anything he wrote or said that wasn’t lifted from some others’ work.” Just what in this black studies is going to be ground breaking? Something some DWL hasn’t come up with before? This is going to be one more of those dead end affirmative action jobs filled with empty heads and empty suits all mumbling the same jumbo mumbo racisss racisss racisss racisss. It’s racist, Doctor Shakeera Akim. You can expect Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and others of their racist ilk to receive their doctorates here even if honorary.
I like the premise of the article. If black scholars want to focus on white racism, they should at least try to understand why whites think the way they do.
“waiters and waitresses are about as Homo economicus as a person can be”
This is a very important point to hammer on. The entire ideological structure of the modern world is (for now) a triumphant globalization and its premise of man as a fungible economic unit. That which we call “leftism” or “liberalism” are co-opted political movements now in service to global free trade.
By reframing a waiter’s racial discrimination as legitimate calculation consistent with prevailing ideological arrangements, you attack race-liberalism on terms that are legitimate under the present order.
If you were going to use a pseudonym that was nearly similar to your real name, “Chuck Rose” sounds far more dashing.
From Chuck Ross to G.L. Piggy to Chuck Rudd and back again. Congratulations on the increasing exposure.
Congratulation. I esp. like the characterization of AA Studies as “incomplete” or 1/2 baked.
In the related field of AA literature, there is an AA woman in my community (same trainer) who’s credentials include “New York Times Best Selling Author”. She writes in the genre of AA Sex Scandals.. . so I went to a book signing and bought one. Her writing is AWFUL!!. Her sentence structures are Subject..Noun..Verb. Subject..Noun..Verb. She’s made a living for 20 years writing at this elemental level, by selling to the 1/2-literate AA readers.
I’ll repeat a comment I made at Taki’s .
There is a young White man in our community pursuing a master’s in AA Studies as a segue to law school. In time we’ll discover whether he’ll live off the fat of pressing lawsuits or defending them.
On the topic of Obama endorsing gay marriage:
George Will commented that “If you struck from Barack Obama’s vocabulary the first-person singular pronoun, he would fall silent,
Read Obama’s reasoning on gay marriage:
“I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.”
“I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers……….”
Lots of first person singular pronouns there.
Leftists are all about predetermined outcomes. Everything they do is about ensuring a specific outcome rather than allowing the messy chaos of freedom or the unknowns of open inquiry. Any kind of ethnic studies paper is going to follow that same template. The conclusion is always known before the paper is written: RACISM!
Similarly:
Environmental studies always conclude civilization bad, nature good.
Economic studies always conclude rich bad, poor good.
History is always white men bad, everyone else good.
Religious studies always conclude that religion is stupid and liberals are smart and also pretty.
Psychological studies always conclude conservatives are mentally ill and liberals are superior in every way.
Just memorize those and you will have already read every paper a leftist has ever written or will write in the near future.
Congrats Chuck.
Congrats Chuck.
Congratulations and best of luck to you Chuck.
@jz
I did a little one over of a study “Narcissism and use of personal pronouns”

Chuck’s old articles at places like The Spearhead have always been under Chuck Ross, so this was known…
btw, white nationalists will have heart attacks when they learn that Chuck Ross of Texas is a black guy with a pretty white wife :
https://www.facebook.com/clross3
But congrats to Chuck for taking it to the next level!
I don’t see why a WN would have a heart attack over that. Her husband will be much harsher to her than I will be. Odds are that one day he’ll OJ her, divorce her for another white girl, or just walk out the door.
I regard mixing much like a face tatoo. She defiles herself and she’s given up the greatest gift in the world. The best punishment is for every white man to know she was a black man’s whore. They’ll know what to think.
There’s nothing racist about trying to avoid waiting on tables whose patrons generally give poor or deminimus tips. It’s not racist by any proper or old school definition of the term to notice after some experience that black people tend to give bad tips. It’s probably useful to make finer distinctions. I’d guess that a table of black businessmen all dressed in suits would tend to give decent if not generous tips, though you tell me Chuck. That was my experience driving a night (after 5pm) cab in Manhattan the summer before law school.
@doug1111- I waited tables in a higher end restaurant. You’re correct. Class matters more. I’d always take the table of black businessmen over the white trash couple who wanted Riedels to go with their Beringer white zin.
At Taki’s, what Chuck R. wrote on racial differences in tipping could be construed as not that significant.
“Research… has shown that black patrons do, on average, tip less than other groups… [Researcher] Lynn pointed out in a meta-analysis that black patrons tipped between three and six percentage points lower than other groups.”
So, on a $100 bill, a white patron might tip $17 and black patron might tip 3% to 6% less, or about $16?
No, if the average white tips 17% or $17, then the average black tips 14% to 11%, or about $12.50. 26% less.
In the linked PDF at Taki’s, Lynn notes that this comparison is limited to people who calculate their tip on a percent-of-the-bill basis. That’s about 80% of whites and something over 40% of blacks. Most of the remaining people tip on a flat-dollar basis, which almost certainly means leaving less for the server. And then about 2% of whites and 6% of blacks report stiffing their servers. (See Lynn’s PDF, bottom of pg 5/top of pg 6.)
I’ll run a spreadsheet, assuming these figures for a $100 bill:
80% of whites tip at 17%
18% of whites tip a flat $10
2% of whites leave nothing
44% of blacks tip at 12.5% (4 1/2 percentage points lower)
50% of blacks tip a flat $10
6% of blacks leave nothing
Average white tip: $15.40. Average black tip: $10.50 One-third less. Real life might show a bigger or a smaller difference, depending on what the average flat-dollar tip actually is.
amac:
Good analysis. You’ve done more there than anyone else on the entire topic, from what I can tell. I’ve pitched similar arguments to the publications i.e. Washington Examiner that ran with a news blurb of the original study from the Journal of Black Studies, and none of them wanted to touch it. This one-sidedness pervades from top to bottom.
There is another aspect of this that won’t make it into any big journal. *Servers report* that black patrons typically require more service for even less in tips. More work; less money. I do not at all deny that servers profile black patrons, and I’m willing to admit that profiling exists and that I’ve done it myself. But I would like others to admit that it’s a two-way street. I’m at the whim of the patron, not really the other way around.
Ryu,
Her husband will be much harsher to her than I will be.
If you read Heartiste, you would know that your ‘kindness’ is not what gets the gina to tingle. Like I said, your problems mean you should spend that 1 hour a day learning Game, rather than high-school level STEM.
Odds are that one day he’ll OJ her, divorce her for another white girl, or just walk out the door.
Why are you even in the manosphere? Just about every manosphere blogger would expose the flawed assumptions in your whiteknighting.
And I say this as someone who has a race realist (negative) view of blacks. But Chuck Ross of Texas is a black guy who married a pretty white girl.
Chuck Ross of Texas :

his white wife, Melissa Ross :

Her profile also has a photo of him in it, indicating that she is happy with him.
Ryu said :
divorce her for another white girl,
Wait, so TWO white girls would get ‘defiled’ in your scenario? Why the defeatism, man? I thought you said WNs were making great progress?
I still don’t know why Chuck doesn’t migrate up to a higher-end restaurant, where he would a) earn a lot more money, and b) not have to deal with surly blacks, who have been priced out.
For the variety of poor patrons he gets, a higher-end restaurant would price out the blacks, gypsies, and single mothers. Tips would be great since most patrons are corporate accounts, and thus not spending their own money.
His quality of life would improve greatly.
What nikos said. I sometimes made $400-500 in just five or six hours. I once received a $130 tip (30%) off a two top. Granted, one was a famous singer and the other a behind the scenes music industry heavy-hitter.
If your middle name is a first name too, now that would be awesome.
Ulysses,
All the things that Chuck dislikes (surly blacks, single moms, thieving gypsies) would be priced out, and instead he would be catering to business lunches and dinners, where they tip a lot because it is not even their own money.
If he must be a waiter, at least be a highly paid one..
In yesterday’s comment (05/10/2012 at 2:47 pm), I started with a $100 bill — say, dinner for two at an upscale restaurant. I assumed flat-dollar tippers would leave a $10 note, which is somewhat generous if one believes that service costs are mostly included in the check. That worked out to an estimate that, all other things being equal, blacks (as a group) tip about two-thirds as much as whites (as a group).
As another exercise, consider breakfast for two at a sit-down diner, with the check coming to $20. This time, assume that flat-tippers are cheapskates, and leave only a dollar. That works out as follows:
80% of whites tip at 17%
18% of whites tip a flat $1
2% of whites leave nothing
44% of blacks tip at 12.5% (4 1/2 percentage points lower)
50% of blacks tip a flat $1
6% of blacks leave nothing
Average white tip: $2.90. Average black tip: $1.60, or only 55% of the white amount. If I was a waitress at Waffle House, I’d sure notice the difference. Irrespective of my own race.
There’s a much bigger split between male/female patron tipping amounts than race, and of course male waiters usually get tipped more than lady waiters as well. Most waiters IRL are honest that the sex split is more of an issue than racial background.
And nobody is ‘homo economicus’. People leave money on the table (so to speak) all the time in many industries, including cash ones.
A Lady:
Do you have citations for that? Because I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. Just a hunch here.
And way to be dense about my very clear point on homo economicus. People respond to incentives and perceptions about their income. If they think they’ll have to work a lot for not much income, they’ll hold that patron in different light than another.
A Lady –
Can you offer a citation for gender differences in tipping behavior that is equivalent to the surveys by Lynn & colleagues that C.R. linked at Taki’s? If you do, I’ll work up some estimates of male versus female gratuity amounts (cf. upthread, 5/11/12 at 8:29am).
Much deserved. Congrats, but look out on the real name thing: I salute your moral courage, but anonymity has its privileges….
