EquiTable is now available for download on the iOS app, and a new commercial (which you can watch above) was shared via the app’s Facebook page on Wednesday. And the app has also devised a way to give back. Equitable automatically adds a surcharge for “high privilege groups,” subsidizing meals for others and funding EquiTable’s charitable arm


Thank God for this one!

I like this part: So if you’re a white man brunching with a black woman and a Latina, be prepared to pay a little extra for that avocado toast. Hey, it’s not our fault! It’s the patriarchy.

I enjoy seeing stuff like this but watching the same people who love this want to know why the country will continue to stay so divided.

It was time in March 2016 when the article and app were released.

Before anyone gets too wrapped up in this, the creator of the apps says herself that it's meant to be tongue-in-cheek.

That being said, you know there are plenty of people who saw this app, and thought it was a legitimate, brilliant idea.

If I went out to dinner with someone and they legitimately suggested we use this I'd walk out and leave them with the whole bill

By that, she means that it's not meant to be used. I'm pretty sure she buys in to the "stats" behind the app.

So anyone who's not white is a "douchebag"? How enlightened of you, fricking racist.

Probably says a lot about me that I immediately thought about the waiter/waitress and how fricking pissed they would be to divide checks like this
