In a Central City restaurant, white diners are asked to pay $18 more for lunch to start a dialogue about racial wealth disparity.

Guess they want a more effective way to make sure no one goes to that food court.
Shame too, because it seems pretty nuce except it being set up to minimize being robbed.

The literal definition of racism.

I'll pay $18 to go to Central City and make it out alive.

I support a private business being able to choose to serve who they want and charge what they want. I wouldn't eat there though.

The only dialogue that I see that starting is:
Customer 1: Huh, you want to eat somewhere else?
Customer 2: Why, yes, I think we should.

It's a smart business plan to prey on the many white-guilters out there and I fully support this business doing this.
A fool and their money are easily parted.

So basically, you can still pay the $12, but you are going to essentially be lectured and guilted while doing it.

Any diner can elect to pay $12 and be served. The point is not to charge people more for lunch based on their race, Wey said. The point, he said, is to make people experience, in a concrete situation, how income disparities -- which, in New Orleans, starkly run along racial lines -- affect daily decisions like what to pay for lunch, as well as life-altering opportunities and even personal health.

Wouldn’t this violate the Civil Rights Act?
ETA: I see it’s optional. Nvm

Once again, it is fine for them to do it but if I tried to charge a black person more? I would be jailed on a civil rights violation.

Where does Louisiana rank as a state, again?

The worst part about this is that some skinny-jean, prescription glasses, scarf-wearing, koi fish and/or bird tattoo flaunting white hipsters are going to go there and actually think they're "solving" a made-up problem.

I'm sure there'll be a line of honkies waiting to get a table. Smart business move.
