Texas Young Conservatives Host Affirmative Action Bake Sale
A University of Texas chapter of The Young Conservatives faced major backlash this week for hosting a racist “Affirmative Action Bake Sale.” The mostly white club encouraged students on the campus to buy cookies and discuss the policy of Affirmative Action.
The prices for the baked goods were as listed:
Asian male $1.50
Asian female $1.25
White male $1.00
White female $.75
African American male $.50
African American female $.25
Hispanic male $.50
Hispanic female $.25
Native American FREE
Watch a video of the protest held at the University of Texas during the bake sale via The Daily Texan:
Students shouted “check your privilege!” and “racists go home!” at the Young Conservatives after the protest died down. What do you think of the bake sale?
