A black man from Toronto has been awarded $10,000 in damages from a downtown Chinese restaurant that asked him and a group of friends to prepay for their meals. The payment was ordered by Ontario's Human Rights Tribunal, which determined the man faced racial discrimination in the incident, infringing on his human rights. Hong Shing declined an interview request from CBC Toronto, saying the restaurant is under new ownership since the incident. He said the Human Rights Legal Support Centre receives multiple calls every day about anti-black racism, but few of them are ever seen through. Instead, she ordered the restaurant to post an Ontario Human Rights Commission Code card in a prominent location.
