I worked as a server and bartender in college and I never in my life ever seen black people dine and dash. I'm not saying they don't, it just doesn't seem like something that fits a certain stereotype for them.

Sure, he didn't do full market research.
Here is the facts as he presents them. He was asked to pay in advance and was told by his server that it was the boss's decision to do so. He then found out a white couple was not asked to pay in advance. This means everyone is not being asked to pay in advance so why was he?
If this was just the waitress making this decision and lying about the boss forcing her to do it, we will find out about that in court. If the boss really did tell her to do this we will also likely find out how often this has happened in the past (at least as far as that waitress knows) and we might find out why this one guy was selected.
On the grand scale of things is this lawsuit going to end racism, change this guy's life or make the world a better place? No. But it might send a message of some sort that if you are a business open to the general public you have to treat everyone the same.
