A group of Boston restaurant owners have filed a $1.5 million complaint against Michelle Wu over an allegedly discriminatory outdoor dining policy.
The owners of five restaurants in Boston, Massachusetts, are alleging they have been discriminated against because of their white, Italian background by the city's Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu.
The complaint perpetuates a broader debate about what should be considered discrimination amid a shifting sense of power felt among different communities. A May 2022 poll found that 40 percent of Americans felt there was more discrimination against white people than there was five years ago. Michelle Wu attends at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway on December 2, 2022, in Boston, Massachusetts , and the North End neighborhood on April 4, 2020, during the height of the coronavirus pandemic.In 2022, Wu ordered that restaurants in the area that wanted to have outdoor dining for that summer would have to apply for a license to do so, which would cost $7,500, and the use of parking spaces would cost an additional $480 per space used.
