Are you ready to pay for your privilege
shitlords?

>EquiPay, a bill-splitting app that accounts for racial and gender income inequalities, is on its way to becoming a reality

>With EquiPay, the idea is “reparations, one meal at a time,” so instead of splitting meals equally among friends, it’s about splitting them equitably. In March, the plan is to make an iOS app available to the masses, EquiPay creator and comedian Luna Malbroux told me.

>“For centuries, women and people of color have worked day in and day out only to be burdened by unequal pay for equal work,” Malbroux said on stage.

>EquiPay “developed a complex algorithm that takes into account history,” Malbroux said on stage. “We call it, affirmative fractions.” In actuality, it’s based on income data from the U.S. Department of Labor. So, let’s say I, a black woman, am out to dinner with a white man and a white woman. The white man would pay the most, followed by the white woman. I would pay the least :-)

>So, why would people — especially white men — ever want to use this app? Well, “we at EquiPay know people love social recognition for being socially conscious, so we’ve created a share feature,” Malbroux said. The share feature tweets something like, “I helped fix the wage gap with lobster bisque.”

Virtue signaling, the app.

It's a joke. Although it is becoming more and more difficult to tell.

Oh, Wew. Yeah I could actually see that getting made

>>67934468
as if i would eat with brown people

This is weird. Whenever I'm out to eat with friends at a sit down restaurant we always fight to get to be the one who pays the entire bill. People seriously go out to eat at a nice place then split the bill?
>>
>>67934793
i live in canada so i've never been to a nice place
>>
>>67934793
That's why it's a joke.

>developed a complex algorithm


LOL yeah I am really sure it is very complex.

>>67934608
It says it started as a joke but now its a real thing that they think is a good idea

It started as a joke.

Until some negress decided is was actually a solid idea, and made the app.

>>67934887
Yeah it's fucked up that we don't even have 1 single Michelin star restaurant in the entire country.

Does this mean Asians pay more?

>>67935274
I would and I would split the bill with myself then share so everyone on Facebook will see how lonely I am then someone will feel bad for me and find me a gf.

>Table mates whip out that shitty app.
>Anonkun, it's only fair that we split the bill with this app.
>Waiter comes by
"Are these separate or together."
"Separate"
>Other people at the table sperg out
>Tell them to go fuck themselves and I pay my bill and never eat with them again.

>>67934468
Thank God there's a share feature that lets you know how big of a douchebag liberal cuck someone is.

I'm glad this is a thing, so now AIDS Skrillex and cuck carl will have to check their privilege for real. Shit, I'm going to tell all my white libtard frienemies about this and guilt them into doing it.
>>
>>67935134
You're niggafluid too?

I only identify as black when it comes time to split the check though.
>>
>>67934468
yeah; good luck getting the programmers to write that into the server-bots' coding.
going out to eat is already too expensive.
so, we learn to cook for ourselves, maybe even raise our own food?
that would just workrape-trigger the hell out of you, now wouldn't it?
