'Racist' bake sale at UC Berkeley ignites furor
A student group at the University of California Berkeley has sparked a furor by staging a bake sale that charges customers differently based on their race and gender.
The Berkeley College Republicans devised the satirical "Increase Diversity Bake Sale," as a protest against proposed bill SB 185, which would have the race, gender, ethnicity and national origin of prospective students considered alongside other admission criteria.

Just sampling the comments shows them to be reasoned and reasonable, like this (just one of many):
the bake sale wasn't so much racist as it was a way of pointing out that the college was being racist in it's admission policies - ANY TIME, race or ethnicity is used to form policies or create laws, it's racism in practise when it gives privledges, advantages, or benefits to one group and denies them to another.
Except for this one:
The US, a nation of racists, deems to tell the rest of the world how to treat its citizens..
::)
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer:
what is the point of this? i want to know one good reason why you would base prices on race and gender. this is just starting all type of hype. .
DUmbass.
This is also the university that demands and trains that the student enrollees are liberal followers.
i would not want to be a white man in this place.
I wouldn't touch that place with a 5,000 mile pole. Greg Gutfeld went there, and turned out normal, though. I credit his mother.
Another DUmmie: (these guys are rare, and get lots of thumbs-down).
Of course, the Republicans will give the white males a 85% tax break on every cupcake they buy-95% if they earn over $250,000 a year..
:whatever:
Your math makes no sense. It's a cupcake price, dumb****.
Thanks for the perspective from the Great White North, compaq.

California's SB 185 is a California Senate Bill that could enable non-academic cultural components to be considered in the university admissions procedure. Though the law is intended to increase diversity in education, some are concerned it will also increase discrimination. Article source: California political debate spawns racist bake sale (http://www.newsytype.com/12024-racist-bake-sale/). The good thing about this protest is that no one was hurt. I mean, there's no physical situation or injuries.

Welcome to the Cave, Amy :cheersmate:.
Please define "cultural components". If you are referring to people why not simply call them people?
BTW, please feel free to stop by the introductions thread and say "hi". :)

This bake sale has been a Young Republican device for years.
Liberal reaction to this old gag underscores two truths about liberals:
1) Libs have NO sense of humor.
2) Libs cannot take any sort of dissent or criticism.

I wonder why Amy was banned after just one post. :???:
We always tell the DUmp, "you can sign up here and not get banned," but we always broom them, quickly. What was so bad about that post of hers up there?
