April Jensen, who works at the Sugar Mama's Bakeshop, told the newspaper "it kind of hurt" when she read the sticker."I don't really understand the message behind it," said Jensen, who is African-American. "All types of customers come in here."
Nelson Linder, president of Austin NAACP, called the stickers "absolutely stupid."
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Employees at several Austin businesses have found stickers saying "exclusively for white people" placed on their windows, sparking an investigation into their origin and condemnation from the mayor.Mayor Steve Adler said the stickers discovered Wednesday morning were "an appalling and offensive display of ignorance in our city."The stickers also say "Maximum of 5 colored customers / colored BOH staff accepted," apparently referring to the "back of house" operations at a restaurant. They featured a city of Austin logo and claimed to be "sponsored by the City of Austin Contemporary Partition and Restoration Program," though no such program exists. The city has said the use of its logo was unauthorized.
From the article:I'm not criticizing April Jensen's comment, quoted by Gina, but those stickers look pretty professionally done. 4 or 5 decades ago assuming they were done by KKK-type racists might have been reasonable. Nowadays, especially in a liberal place like Austin, I think it's more likely to have been done by some false-flag person or group trying to stir the racial pot or "raise awareness" about "gentrification" (which some blacks have made the latest racism-bogeyman).
