Anti-Affirmative Action Event Draws Protest
Despite days of public outcry, the UC Berkeley College Republicans on Tuesday proceeded with a highly publicized satirical bake sale that protested an Affirmative Action-like bill currently awaiting approval from Governor Jerry Brown.
The Huffington Post first reported about plans for the bake sale when it appeared in a Facebook post from the Republican group. The post advertised pastries price-adjusted for gender and ethnicity, including cupcakes priced at $2.00 for white men and $1.00 for Latinos, with a price break of $.25 for women.

Although the plan was slammed by students and civilians, the bake sale went ahead as scheduled.
The result: a highly charged free-for-all protest that included student Democrat organizations, angry minority
