Racist Cupcakes? Berkeley Erupts over Affirmative Action Satire

The U.C. Berkeley College Republicans struck a national nerve today by holding a bake sale with racially discriminatory pricing: Higher prices for white and Asian students, lower prices for black, Hispanic and female students. Why the intentional discrimination? To protest a pending new statewide law which attempts to re-introduce Affirmative Action into university admission standards, something that was been banned years ago with California’s popular Constitutional amendment requiring race-neutral admissions.
The purposely inflammatory gag was very clever: the goal was to make everyone point out how racist the cupcake prices were, at which point the young Republicans reply, “Exactly! Racial discrimination is unfair. Thanks for making our point for us!”
But the leftists on campus and around the state instead flew into a blind rage: The joke was too effective, so Affirmative Action proponents simply pretended to “not get it.” Accusations of racism flew back and forth and before anyone knew it we had a major FUBAR situation on our hands.

Young Conservatives of Texas Throw “Affirmative Action Bake Sale” At University of Texas

The University of Texas chapter of the Young Conservatives of Texas put on a pretty hilarious and poignant bake sale today, one aimed at speaking out against the ridiculousness that is affirmative action.
According to UT-YCT president Lorenzo Garcia, the group hopes to demonstrate several things by having the bake sale.
1) It may be demeaning to minorities to say that they need affirmative action to succeed.
2) A society cannot truly be color blind until they stop making decisions based on race.
3) Affirmative Action may create reverse discrimination.
4) Because of affirmative action, a minority may beat out someone more capable for a job or school, simply because of race or gender.

I thought that (on average) white people tip (a lot) more than black people, and so the "free market" was already doing the same thing.

If I had to make a bet, I wouldn't bet that this restaurant will stay in business for a long time with it's business plan.

You are correct - to get a fair and true set of data, we would have to compare job for job, and even market for market.

This will not happen because such a study would pretty much blow their entire narrative of “racism” and “inequality” out of the water.
