A New Orleans restaurant charged customers based on race as part of a social experiment
A pop-up restaurant called Saartj charged white customers $18 more for meals than non-white customers as part of an experiment on racial wealth disparity

This is stupid. Just take people's money, smile in their faces, and talk crap behind their backs like they do. The goal is to make money, not make political statements in restaurants.
Edit: I didn't read the article, and now that I have, ok, it worked.
And the responses on the npr tweet are exactly what we expect them to be

Understandable, but this isn't going to help their business.

The restaurant sign is hand-written
Lol...it's a pop-up restaurant...a lot of food trucks in DC have handwritten signs...as long as its written neatly and legible...

Who says they weren't making money? I'm sure the black people paid the price on the menu.

I'm not white, and I'm not in favor of things like this to keep trying to make whites miraculously do the right thing. They will never do the right thing! So take their money, reinvest in the black community, and fukk them!
It's a social experiment...that is helping their business...
