I don’t think they’d like to have their coffee made by black people. "We sat down and he said, 'But you’re black?' I said yes and he told me, 'But my customers are white. He didn’t like what he saw," Dos Santos said. "When I came to the cafe for the interview today, he looked at me and looked surprised. When Dos Santos arrived at the cafe the next day for his interview, Steven pulled an incredibly racist (and geographically ignorant) switch. In some people's opinions African people can’t make good coffee."ĭos Santos saw the ad on Gumtree and rang Steven on Saturday, telling the owner he was from Brazil on the phone. "I prefer the barista to be local, not from Italy or other countries. "We need to offer good service at this cafe and I think the coffee culture is more about white people." He keeps going. "There are a lot of white customers at the cafe and I think the clients here want local people, not African people," Steven said after this weekend's events. A recent migrant from Shanghai, Steven is taking some furious heat for his hypocritical and outrageously racist actions. Although Nilson Dos Santos is an Australian citizen and has worked as a barista in Australia for nine years, the owner (who would only give the Daily Mail his name as 'Steven'), told the 39-year-old he "only wanted locals" for the job. Darlinghurst's Forbes and Burton is under fire after the cafe's owner denied a Brazilian-born Australian man a barista job, telling him his customers wouldn't want their "coffee made by black people," according to the Daily Mail.
