One chef’s social experiment: Charge minorities $12, white people $30.
Washington Post ^ | Maura Judkis

Posted on 03/22/2018 5:15:58 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement

If they’re a person of color, they pay $12. If they’re white, he’ll tell them they can either pay $12, or they can pay $30 — two and a half times the base price, which reflects the wealth disparity in New Orleans. He tells them the profits will be redistributed to people of color, but not as charity — just to any minority customers of his who want it, regardless of their income or circumstance.

“When I tell black folks what’s happening, 90 percent of them start laughing, like, ‘For real?’ They’re tickled,” he said. “White folks, there’s this blank — ” he paused and laughed, “— this blank look. They’re like, ‘Huh, okay.’”

How about I first rob a couple of tourists or burglarize a couple houses in the Ninth Ward to get the $12 first? Close enough?

“As a white man, I would politely pay for whatever drinks I may have consumed and walk out of the restaurant.”

Why bother ? Just walk out.

He’s not going to call the cops. If he does, what does he expect will happen if he says “A white guy just walked out of my place without paying!”

In his mind, he SHOULD expect them to pishaw the whole thing. Because life isn’t fair and whites get everything.

So just walk out. Order more and walk out.

Seems like a uni-color dining room will be the outcome.

Why not hang a sign out front with days and preferred color stated.

Let's see, as a white male I can pay $12 or, if I choose, $30 ... with the extra $18 going to subsidize the meals of "people of color".

My first response is ... I'll go with $12 for my meal, Alex ...

,,, except that making this choice would require me to actually give my business to this racist a-hole ... so, I'm going to grill a steak at home.

Why don’t we pay based on effort. The hard working pay less. Those cashing checks from Uncle Sugar pay the most.

Discrimination laws are written such that they only protect certain “classes” of people. Since whites are not in a protected class, those laws don’t apply.

Let’s see...twelve dollars or thirty dollars...no, I’ll take door number three, Monty. I’ll be eating for free today, because if I’m not, your butt will wind up buried beneath a mountain of administrative and legal filings.

I’m not going to stoop to the level at which they reside. My mother always taught me to live a life of enriching the world. I feel if I condescend to anyone that I’m doing a disservice to myself and to the world.

That doesn’t preclude me from being very vocal about my distaste for their practices. If they don’t understand the polysyllabic English I’m speaking, all the better.

White folks, there’s this blank — ” he paused and laughed, “— this blank look. They’re like, ‘Huh, okay.’”

They’re appalled at your naked racist savagery. They’re stunned that you don’t even seem to know you are an un American animal

““White folks, there’s this blank — ” he paused and laughed, “— this blank look. They’re like, ‘Huh, oThe blankkay.’””

The blank look is due to lots of thoughts being processed by the white person, such as:

*Are they kidding? Should I laugh? Is there a hidden camera?

*If they are serious, will my $12 meal get thrown on the floor and stepped on, then served to me?

*Does choosing the $12 meal make me a racist?
