Finally, The Black Man Catches A Break

While browsing the web today the following headline caught my eye:

Study: Prostitutes in Chicago Forced to Service Police Officers for Free, Charge Whites and Hispanics More

The full article is here. The hookers were paid $150 per week for the study, which is about 50% of their normal wage, so I assume that they must not be too good at math. Repeat customers get charged less (a volume discount makes sense) and I understand charging whites more - the general perception is that whites make more money. Why do the Hispanics get screwed in this deal? Do Hispanics make more than blacks? If I were black AND a repeat customer AND a cop I guess I'd be asking the hooker to pay me.

I found it pretty interesting that hooking follows a lot of the same laws as the rest of the free market - demand goes up during the holidays, just like the rest of the retail industry. The real problem is figuring out how to fit that gift into the stocking...well, a stocking you want to put on the mantle anyway.
