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.

Federal civil rights law of...1964, I think. The one Goldwater voted against which caused a tumult. He may have been right but that’s the law and this ill-educated immigrant needs to learn it in spades.

“this ill-educated immigrant needs to learn it in spades.”

You are ill-educated on the facts of this situation.

“Oh, so what did I miss?”

The fact that all customers are charged the same price!

#2 - these statistics that say that African-Americans are paid less are extremely selective in what numbers are used - there is no “apples to apples” comparison

They generally compare apples to road apples.

In fairness, he probably puts a few extra toppings on the white customer’s food...if you catch my drift.

I’ve got no problem with this. The restaurant will be full of women and minorities. The guys that pay extra aren’t dining there.

So what if a black man brings in his white girlfriend for dinner? Does he get charged one meal at the Whitey Price?

Different subject but about food in New Orleans. New Orleans has world class restaurants that serve world class food at a world class price. It is good but bring money.

However, New Orleans have many small grocery stores in lower to middle class neighborhoods that will have a few tables set up, always with a plastic checkered table cloth. They will only serve a few dishes. They are serving their local neighborhood. It has to be good as the customer is probably the kid you grew up with. The prices are reasonable and the food first class. A gumbo, a creole or an oyster poorboy at these little mom and pop places are the best. They will also have beer.

You will not find these places in the suburbs with rare exceptions.

So, white people should stop going there. See how long his restaurant will last without them.

Maybe charge blacks 20% more to compensate for their frequent poor tipping?

There was a Ritz Carlton that had so many minority folks running out on their checks and not tipping during some basketball tournament that they added a 15% surcharge on the bills. Of course it caused a big brouhaha.

Hmm.... the problem is that the folks in question are unequal and there is no hookem that can change that.

Only education and hard work can make a difference as many many black folk know

So:

If you are 1/16 black (the Jim Crow laws) you get the non-white price?

If you are 1/16 white you get the white price?

What a muddle for mulattoes!
