The key to the above report was the word 'Rittenhouse'. not that a white person was discriminated against by a coffee company. I know this seems a little thin, but using certain words and phrases can amplify a story in the hopes it adds and often distracts, to the overall perception of what would naturally be purveyed.
Just think about it for a moment, something happened in a coffee shop five years ago that has no relevance to anyone who wasn't involved in the incident. Yet here it is in a BBC article five years later only because it holds the tired racial aspect and the envy-trigger of the amount of money.
Rittenhouse = Kyle Rittenhouse, a white male who was absolved of accusations that went against a particular favoured culture. But the recipe for this narrative requires certain undeniable ingredients and to hide such evocative terms, numbers via statistics is a fine way to show the reader/viewer that research was undertaken.

The reality is that for some time now, the mainstream media have gotten to the stage where indicative low statistical concerns are blatantly displayed and the poor potency of these deficient numbers is ignored due to the MSM's need to push a certain narrative.
The actual story may be obscure and only relevant to a small number of potential customers. But with a touch of word-smithing and the usual expressions of size (huge is a favourite), an account that favours an agenda can be inflated enough that it may convince a reader/listener that the story is important.
Very good point, BIAD. I believe this tactic is how the media casts spells using specific words & phrases throughout news stories. Then over time they are able to track 'n trace these words (or unique names) or phrases to monitor the effect of their spells. This I believe is one of the key reasons why the msm refused to let "Q" die, as many of those popular words/phrases were recited throughout news stories over & over. And like you mentioned a certain word/name/phrase can go back years and outta the blue that same word from an unrelated story pops-up that acts as a trigger. It can also be used as clandestine communication with other journalists.
I believe in journalism this falls under the term "Evergreen" which is content that is not time-sensitive. Such content does not rely on current events, where an evergreen story can be prepared, then mothballed until it is needed to fill time on a slower news day or on a holiday, or a distraction. They probably maintain a database of trigger words/phrases (spells) to meet whatever opportunity, distraction, target.
Once a spell is cast, it is tagged and they just monitor the current flow of traffic and spring another spell/hypnotic construct if/when the sheep steer off course or need another distraction. Also, as we have noticed they (the masters of word-smithing) are changing/re-defining the English language once again.
Secret Spells of the English Language
No idea if the Rittenhouse kid is a descendant, but whenever I see that name pop-up this is the first person that comes to my mind as one of the founding fathers, David Rittenhouse who was an important figure in 1769 as one of the first observers to record the actual arc associated with the atmosphere of Venus, in a form comporting with modern observations. A good friend of Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, Rittenhouse was 'self-taught' in mathematics & astronomy, a clockmaker (constructed his first wooden clock at age 17), inventor, surveyor and made his own measurement instruments. He was the First director of the US Mint. Rittenhouse's work was so incredibly precise and well-documented that it was incorporated without modification into Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon's survey of the Pennsylvania–Maryland border...the Mason-Dixon line. In 1781 Rittenhouse became the first American to sight Uranus. Thomas Jefferson went on to say to his European counterparts that Mr. Rittenhouse is the finest mind that America has to offer, surpassing their scholars.
"Tempus Fugit" is a Latin phrase, usually translated into English as "time flies". The phrase was coined by Rittenhouse and that is what he put as a stamp on all of his clocks. He is the person who finished the Mason-Dixon line because they did not have the 'time' to finish it and did minor corrections to their work. Mason & Dixon later came back to inspect the stone boundary line and said it was 100% correct. They were educated astronomers and surveyors and Rittenhouse was a self-taught guy.
