For me, as with you it seems, if service is good then the tip is good. Race is not a factor. Normally I just automatically double the sales tax, no matter who the server is. But if the server is bad, not caring or rude then on VERY rare occasion I have left 10c. The server knows I didnt forget to tip but knows how much I was displeased. During the Holidays I try to tip above my normal 16% and tip 20% to 25%.
Exactly. People put too much stock in personal experiences and choose to ignore facts. There are millions of people out there who aren't even aware of their prejudices.

What you do or think is a drop in the bucket compared to what's going on with the rest of the world.
