Canadian Movie Imposes “Justice Pricing” Where White Males Pay Twice As Much For Tickets

Rex_theatreWe have been discussing how discrimination and speech regulation have become acceptable in the cause of diversity or equality for many activists. The latest example was seen at the premiere of a new documentary about comedians called “Building the Room.”   The director is Sharaz Higgins who implemented “justice pricing” which originally planned to charge cis white men $20 and everyone else $10. After an outcry, he  dropped the “privilege price” to $15.  He and his colleagues obviously missed the point. The problem was not the price but the discrimination.  To make matters worse, Higgins did interviews under a false name, Sid Mohammed, to avoid being attacked for his discriminatory policy.

Higgins and his colleagues are insisting on their discrimination against white “cis” males.  The Blue Bridge Theatre Society, owner of the 225-seat Roxy Theatre, said that it does not support such discriminatory practices but that they do not handle ticketing for rental performances.

It is astonishing to see the pride of that such individuals taken in their embrace of gender or racial discrimination as a tool of social justice.  They see no moral or legal problem with penalizing people due to the color of their skin or their gender. Instead, they foster the same blind stereotypes and prejudices that once segregated societies on these grounds.  They learned the history but not its lesson.
