    Wouldn't charging minorities MORE be racist?

    Actually - they sell them to them, but then they take them away.

    No, preferential treatment based on race shows a paternalistic attitude on behalf of the white Christian male oppressors to those they perceive as intellectually, morally and emotionally inferior. Such treatment also forecloses upon the opportunity of the non-white Christian male to achieve as an individual and precluding any success from being accomplished without the imprimatur of approval and allowance of the oppressor.

    It would be racist if they charged African Americans fitycent, rather than $0.75

    Not clever. The intellectually bankrupt affirmative action bake sales are a tactic used on campuses for years.

    I think if they are going to hold these things, they should at least price the items according to what they believe.

    WHITES: FREE! WANT MORE? SURE, HAVE SOME! (We'll take from other minorities who have already paid if we start to run out)
    ASIANS: .50...We respect that you don't make trouble, but you'll never be white...so pay please.
    BLACKS: $2...there will be steep interest you will have to pay us later. It's in the fine print.
    LATINOS: What are you doing here? Get out before I call ICE on you.
    NATIVE AMERICANS: $1. Cookie will be poisoned though.
