Chuck E. Cheese's Accused of Racial Bias in Lawsuit Brought by Three African American Families

According to Business Week magazine, three African-American families have filed a civil rights lawsuit accusing children's restaurant Chuck E. Cheese's and a former Indianapolis store manager, Ken McGill, of mistreating them because they are black.

The lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis, has alleged Ken McGill, who was a manager at two different stores, refused to serve them, treated them rudely or forced them to leave while allowing white families to stay. The suit, which seeks damages of at least $500,000, claims Irving, Texas-based CEC Entertainment Inc., which runs the chain, failed to investigate McGill's behavior as the families requested.

This is a public relations nightmare that Chuck E. Cheese would rather not have to deal with. If the allegations are true, the company needs to pay for the actions of this manager, who needs some serious diversity training.
