FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - The city of Fort Lauderdale and one of its former inspectors are asking a federal judge to dismiss a discrimination lawsuit by two restaurant owners alleging racism against Asians.
"(The inspector) would bring up something else, and then something else, and Im like, wow, there is really a pattern that there is discrimination, bias,'" restaurant partner Tony Asta said.

Neither Fort Lauderdale officials nor Gonzalez responded to requests for comment.
This week, Pizzi filed a response to the citys request to dismiss the lawsuit, which includes a history of racism in the United States.
