A couple claims they were racially profiled at an Applebee’s restaurant located on 50th Street in New York City. The incident, which was posted on a TikTok video by user @nickiyaller1, allegedly took place when the couple tried to order Mexican ranch dressing on the side.
In the video, the man, who identifies as Puerto Rican, said a staff member at the restaurant told him and his wife that they did not look like the kind of people who would order Mexican ranch, or even know what it was. The clip has since drawn significant attention online, with viewer reactions appearing largely divided.
