And I thought college kids were supposed to be smart.
Last week, the Young Conservatives of Texas decided to organize a
protest of affirmative action at Southern Methodist University, by
holding a bake sale where items were priced differently depending on
the race of the person buying.
So cookies cost $1 for white male students, 75c for white females, 50c
for Hispanic students and 25c for blacks.
Unfortunately the Young Conservatives only managed to raise $1.50
before the sale was shut down by the University after a riot almost
ensued.
See, I think the Young Conservatives got this whole thing backwards,
so I've come up with a different bake sale analogy.
Here's how it works: to get to the cookies, blacks have to crawl on
their hands and knees across broken glass, Hispanics have to walk
barefoot across hot coals, white women have to hop backwards, and
white males get pushed down a red carpet in a gold-plated wheelchair.
Mind you, I live on the liberal east coast where white men are still
in charge.
I guess in Texas they're really downtrodden and oppressed or
something.
