Racist coffee campaign stopped

[James]

The University of Pretoria (UP) halted an AfriForum Youth campaign to highlight issues around affirmative action on Friday, the youth organisation said.

"Dean of Students Prof Matete Madiba told us to pack up and leave," chairman of AfriForum Youth at UP Barend Taute said.

The campaign was meant to take the form of a coffee shop, where white students would pay R5 for a cup of coffee, coloured and Indians R3, and blacks R1.

LMAO.

During 2010-ish they had an affirmative action cupcake sale. Something like R5 for whites and R0.50 for blacks.

Kinda ludicrous how discriminating on race is "racist" in the case of coffees, but "empowering" in the case of workplace positions.

AfriForum.... I don't know.

Yeah kinda dubious. But when they plastered the affirmative cupcake sale pamphlets all over campus (&class rooms) I had a definite chuckle.
