I think the idea is that customers expect Asian looking people at a Japanese or Chinese restaurant, not that the owner is racist. Of course said customers can’t actually tell the difference between different Asian ethnicities usually.
The ultimate decision comes to the owner, though. Should he bend to the customer’s expectations? Or is it only his idea of the customer’s expectations; because at least on Lemmy it looks like people don’t care about the look of the staff. Probably not a representative sample, though.

The owner wants his business to make money. If hiring white or black people means earning less money why would he do that?
