Tonic East nightclub discrimination case settled
A Kip's Bay nightclub reached a settlement agreement in a Manhattan, NY federal court. They agreed to pay a $35,000 fine. Prosecutors had charged that the club discriminated against black patrons.The club manager Lindy Tsetseranos denies the club is racist. "That doesn't discriminate against anyone."
However, the club was accused of denying admission to black patrons who wore "urban wear" or "hip hop" clothing, such as Sean John, Rocawear shirts, and Nike Air Force I sneakers, but let whites in with the same clothing on.
