Fun with diversity

I must recognize and commend The Berkeley College Republicans of UC Berkeley for Tuesday's Increase Diversity Bake Sale, held to protest the ill-advised, biased Senate Bill 185 presently on the governor's desk. That legislation, if signed, would allow public universities to consider race and other factors in student admissions.

At the clever, satiric event, goodies were offered for sale with the following appropriate price structure:

White/Caucasian $2.00
Asian/Asian American $1.50
Latino/Hispanic $1.00
Black/African American $0.75
Native American $0.25
$0.25 off for all women

The mainstream press reported that "several dozen" supporters faced off with "hundreds" of critics. AP punctuated the story with a photo of a group of potential disrupters, fronted by an angry black woman, with their fists raised in the air in the ritual black power salute.

Prejudice nothwithstanding, the point was made and, although I doubt there were many sales (nor much food avaliable), I suspect the student Republicans polished off the inventory before thay had to return to class, and face the disapproval of their predominately liberal professors. More power to The Berkeley College Republicans.
