A black waiter pushes the female assailant away. A black customer (maybe one of the women's companions -- good for him to do the right thing) grabs and hauls away the female assailant. A black restaurant manager comes out to talk to the assailants. I really doubt the 24-year-old Asian hostess, who's only been on the job for 3 weeks, would be hurling racist insults when almost everyone involved, on both sides, is black.
