This is like if a white person charged black people more because some of them get free money from the government via welfare, food stamps, & housing. That would go over like a ton of bricks.

I’d refuse the “optional” higher amount because I’m not responsible for anybody else but myself and my family.

TDW: “Refusing to pay more comes off as anti-social and people don’t want to be judged for that.”

@ChuckNASCAR imagine if a restaurant asked its black customers to pay more? The left would be having fits. I’m guessing we won’t hear about this from most of the #MSM https://t.co/14pdRgmyqH

Trending: Trump To Shut Down PLO’s Washington Office

As part of a month-long “social experiment,” a pop-up restaurant in New Orleans is asking white customers to pay extra for their meal in the name of wealth redistribution.

According to Civil Eats, the pop-up called Saartj gives white customers – and only white customers – the option to pay “$12 for lunch or the suggested price of $30” while black customers are “charged $12 and also given the option to collect the $18 paid by a white patron as a way to redistribute wealth.”

Restaurant creator Tunde Wey says that his project seeks to educate patrons on the “nation’s racial wealth gap,” using statistics, according to Civil Eats’ coverage from an EPI study that looks at income distribution broadly, similar to the debunked 22-cent “gender pay gap” statistic.

“After they order, Wey tells each diner about the nation’s racial wealth gap, pointing to stark facts, such as higher education increases a Black family’s median income by $60,000, whereas it increases a white family’s median income by $113,000,” reports Civil Eats.

Wey will also ask his white customers personal questions like “have you ever inherited money or received gifts from family like a car, college tuition payments or other high-value gifts?”

Once the conversation finishes, Wey then asks his white customers how much they will pay. The “white guilt” definitely pays off, with close to 78% of his white customers paying more than double the required price, according to Wey. This guilt, which Wey calls “positive social pressure,” is entirely intentional and designed to elicit payment.

“Refusing to pay more comes off as anti-social and people don’t want to be judged for that,” Wey said. “People look on the other side of the till and see me standing there and they’re thinking that I’m judging them. If they couldn’t pay a higher amount, they gave me a list of caveats why they couldn’t.” – Read more at The Daily Wire.

Twitter Responds:

This is no experiment. The price charged is based on skin color, Caucasians being the one who pay more.
Pretty sure that’s good old fashion racism.

I can’t imagine if this was other way around.
What a shame,

If this is not racist, what is?
