UC Berkeley students and locals are condemning a campus Republican group's "satirical" diversity bake sale, which offered pastry prices based on race and gender. This is shocking...I had no idea there were Republicans at UC Berkeley.
Student senators said the bake sale was discriminatory in a 19-0 vote. The event was planned as a protest against a bill on Governor Jerry Brown's desk that would allow California public universities to consider race, ethnicity and gender in student admissions. Wait, they don't already?
The group said items for white customers cost $2; for Asians, $1.50; for Latinos, $1; for black customers, 75 cents, and for Native Americans, a quarter. Women get a 25-cent discount.
For the history buffs, the Berkeley College Republicans pulled this same stunt eight years ago.
