Cleve Wootson Jr. of the The Washington Post reported on a story about a message on a receipt that stung Sadie Karina Elledge.  Instead of leaving a tip, a couple eating at the Harrisonburg, Virginia restaurant wrote “We only tip citizens.”  Sadie, 18, was born in America (and thus is a U.S. citizen) and is of Honduran and Mexican descent.

Sadie's grandfather, John Elledge, who lists on his Facebook page that he attended Antonin Scalia School of Law (formerly George Mason), took a photo of the note left for his granddaughter and posted it on Facebook.  It has gotten lots of attention.  Elledge is white.  He told the Washington Post he’s particularly sensitive to slights directed at his multicultural family.

Here is a video featuring Sadie.
