The Cheesecake Factory Video Is Not a Skit. It Is a Dangerous Hoax That Perpetuates Harmful Stereotypes About Black Women
<p>A few days ago, a black woman posted a video of what she claimed was a bad first date. In the video, the woman is in a car with a (non-black) Hispanic man. They are at the parking lot of a Cheesecake Factory.</p>
<p>The woman refuses to go into the restaurant, saying she will not go to The Cheesecake Factory on a first date. She says she is too beautiful to go to such a cheap restaurant. She asks him to take her to a fancier restaurant. He refuses and says if she doesn’t want to go to the Cheesecake Factory, then the date will be over.</p>
<p>The two continue to go back and forth. And through this back-and-forth, we come to understand that the man had actually made a reservation at a nice restaurant but the woman showed up late and the restaurant canceled the reservation. So, now they had to go The Cheesecake Factory.</p>
