A restaurant is charging white customers more to highlight racial wealth inequality

by Greg Evans

A restaurant in New Orleans is hoping to raise awareness of racial wealth differences in the country by charging white customers more. 

SAARTJ is a pop-up restaurant in the Louisiana city run by local Nigerian chef Tunde Wey who will be charging white customers $18 (£13) extra for their meal. 

Much like the cafe in Melbourne, Australia which charged a ‘man-tax’ due to the gender pay gap, SAARTJ is charging an increase to highlight the racial pay gap in New Orleans.

Smart. Good times.

Not so good times? Social injustice?

Frankly, I couldn’t care less. If you charge for race in any fashion you can go rot in hell. I certainly won’t be promoting you. And for those who say I’m promoting them?

I’m simply advising you to stay away. Far away.

Social justice be damned.
