Minority consumers will voluntarily pay more for goods and services to assert status study shows

What is startling is the result of a new study that shows that sometimes ill treatment can make African-American consumers voluntarily pay more for goods and services than they would normally, as well as pay more than their Caucasian counterparts.

If this is correct, then it's terrible!
Nobody should have to pay more for a product because of the color of their skin!
I thought this was buried in the past...where it belongs.
Its sad when people get caught up in social status to the point that they're unhappy with themselves. I always try to live for what makes me happy and not others.
