Cocktail Waitress Dim Sum and Then Some

Posted Aug 22nd 2008 9:20AM by TMZ Staff

The club where Lindsay Lohan walked off with a fur coat is being accused of a whitewash.

An Asian-American waitress has sued 1OAK, claiming she was canned because a co-owner only wanted white girls serving drinks. And, Cecilia Shim claims, her downfall came when owner Scott Sartiano (who has dated Jamie Lynn Sigler and Ashley Olsen) had a brainstorm, allegedly telling the manager, "What's the point of having girls if we can't f*** them?"

What we're thinking....if the owner really felt this way, why did he hire an Asian chick in the first place?

A lawyer for the club says Shim and other employees were fired because they sucked at what they did.

1. I don't believe the waitress. Asian girls are considered hot by a lot of men, and many of them are absolutely beautiful. Some people scream "racism" over anything. She was probably a lousy server.

2. "What we're thinking....if the owner really felt this way, why did he hire an Asian chick in the first place?"

4. What the F... does "If the owner really felt this way, why did he hire an Asian chick in the first place" mean. I'm not Asian but I was offended by that statement.

7. IT's all true!!!! I have been to this club and the owners are always trying to seduce all the young girls.One time they offered my friends and I a VIP tablde. At the end of the night they were expecting sex for their "kindess". The owners are real dirty so I wouldn't be surprised.

11. What we're thinking....if the owner really felt this way, why did he hire an Asian chick in the first place? Your Racist Sentence poll should be attached to this article.

I think the author means that if the owner really was racist and wanted only white girls serving patrons he never would have hired an asian waitress in the first place, thus negating the waitress's claim of her firing based on her race.

13. I get tired of this constant racism thing. It takes away from people who are honestly victims of discrimination when it's used as an excuse. You know - I got fired because I'm White/Asian/Black/short/tall/fat/ugly/old/young/female/male/gay, and so on. Any color, religion, or whatever can be a lousy employee. Or a great one.

14. I personally know this waitress and two things she does very well: 1) play the forehead game 2) waitressing.
