Better response is to just pay the $30 and mention that you are used to shouldering the burden.

Almost worth doing this just to get the reaction.

OP left out important information and posters clearly didn’t read the article.

It’s still a bit dumb...but it was an experiment. There isn’t some restaurant out there charging white people more money you bafoons.

Would love to see a based restaurateur open up right next door with a Discount For Whities menu.

how income disparities -- which, in New Orleans, starkly run along racial lines


So does simply being a certain race directly effect one’s earning potential, or is it socioeconomic factor that tend to follow racial trends?

Hipsters will spend $15 on 1 oz of organic sea salt despite making $9/hr at Starbucks. $30 to buy a white guilt indulgence is a slam dunk.

Wouldn’t this violate the Civil Rights Act?

ETA: I see it’s optional. Nvm


I'm not sure that the fact that it is optional makes it compliant with the CRA.

That sounds pretty close to most restaurants, if you are counting the gratuity.

They're so frickin gullible. If they only knew that the expensive meal they just ate because it hit all the tags (organic, sustainable, local) was mainly food service products that you get at Applebee's situated nicely on a plate.

I wonder if black Saints and Pelican players want to eat there, get the discount, and make a statement about why they should pay less than the poor white cat lady who is on Social Security?

What about Asians? How much do they pay?

What about white dudes who dress and talk like inner-city black rap artists?

What about those of mixed race and ambiguous cultural heritage?
