UW Republicans 'Affirmative Action Bake Sale' Draws Criticism

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

SEATTLE, WA — A college Republicans student group at the University of Washington is holding a bake sale on Friday, and the treats will be priced according to their customers' race and gender.

For white people, baked goods are $1. Black people will pay 50 cents for the same treat, while women — or "females" as the UW students say — get 25 cents off everything.

The bake sale is meant to be a rebuke of the passage on Sunday of I-1000, a law that allows affirmative action in hiring for government jobs, college admissions, and government contracts. The college Republicans say I-1000 is racist, and they'll use the bake sale to convince others of that.

"We will be protesting this clearly racist change of law by hosting a bake sale that plainly shows the clear discrimination allowed by law now," the Facebook event page reads.

But others see the bake sale as a hideous stunt. In a statement, the Samuel E. Kelly Ethnic Cultural Center at UW called the affirmative action bake sale "horrific."

I wouldn't be surprised if they spit on everything.

1. this is an old thing....the concept at least

I hope someone has the guts to put a booth right next to them.....apply for jobs....and watch people get more/less salary based on the same then walk over to the bakesale with their 'earnings'

Then it will show everyone how it all balances out
