What About 'My Parents Have Money, Not ME FAFSA" Bake Sale; Affirmative Action Bake Sale

This is a little more political than I generally care to go, so we'll start by saying don't email me, I do not care about your political ideals. I don't even care about my political ideals. I just don't care about politics at all, but I thought this was a clever statement. Anything but those god awful street corner sign holders. Do you understand that you yelling at me while I'm stopped at a red light does not make me suddenly think that you're opinions are obviously superior to everyone else's? Really, it just makes me think you're homeless and you want my quarters. I need those quarters. The soda machine at work won't take dollar bills anymore.
Anyway. Students in Texas that were part of the "Young Conservatives of Texas" club had a bake sale with some unusual prices. Based on the affirmative action policy, where different races receive different levels of federal support to attend college, they a price list to reflect your race. You can see these prices in the photo above.
The point of this bake sale they stated was to bring light to "the injustice of favoritism in academia". This is a statement they've received a lot of support on from their local state representatives.
And it's also a statement that I'm choosing not to comment on. Take it as you will.
