A restaurant is charging white customers more to highlight racial wealth inequality

SAARTJ is a pop-up restaurant in the Louisiana city run by local Nigerian chef Tunde Wey who will be charging white customers $18 (£13) extra for their meal. Much like the cafe in Melbourne, Australia which charged a 'man-tax' due to the gender pay gap, SAARTJ is charging an increase to highlight the racial pay gap in New Orleans. In 2013, a study found that the average household income of an African-American in the city was 54 per cent lower than that of a white person.

I could literally be starving, and I would dive dumpsters before they had one of my hard-earned cracka' dollars...

White people pay more and as a bonus, they also get their food spit on.

Sounds like a happening place for dinner.

No see - he’s educating people and trying to point out racial disparity by acting in a racist manner!

From the article

“We’re told that if you work hard you’ll become wealthy—and that’s not true.

We want to provoke further thinking.”

History shows again and again that stuff like this anti-White crap does not end well. Look at modern-day South Africa or Nazi Germany or the Ukraine Famine, for where the anti-so-and-so crap goes.

If a restaurant runs off the white customers, they’ll never see another tip.

We know blacks don’t tip. I guess the concept escapes them.

I guess SAARTJ will have to start accepting EBT to have any hope of staying in business.
Personal feeling: It’s his business he can destroy it any way he wants.

Business fail.

Let the class action lawsuits begin.

What’s the over/under on this enterprise going belly up?

If I had just sat down to a meal, you’d see me standing up and heading to the door within about 5 seconds of hearing this.

I was thinking similar.

To be fair a study would have to compare truck drivers to truck drivers, lawyers to lawyers, bakers to bakers etc etc.

If a person regardless of color chooses a path down a low income road, it’s their problem, not the problem of those that chose otherwise.

Really no different than a person choosing a path of crime while another does not. Drugs are another example.

Pure unadulterated racism.

[Alberta's Child]

Probably no different than charging white people more to live in the Cabrini-Green housing project in Chicago. They probably haven’t had a white customer in years.

[thoughtomator]

Any white customer who would patronize that business deserves to pay a penalty, so it works out fairly in the end.

The practical result here will be that this business will get zero white customers.

On the off chance that a white person still wants to eat there, my advice: Just self-identify as a Cherokee. It's not that hard to pull off! (Headdress is optional.)

[tennmountainman]

I’m guessing the Nigerian chef also spits in white folks food too.
Be they liberal, conservative or moderate.

Eyep...wait till he finds out how much lawyer cost.....

[TexasGator]

You obviously do not know the real story!

[BBell]

Come on?! Everybody know Asians are not minorities anymore.

[Secret Agent Man]

Cant overcharge people that decide to skip this racist place.
