I can't imagine how you could perceive this as a practical way of demonstrating anything, other than possibly your desire to have it mean something.
What we have here is a bake sale with pricing based on race. A normal bake sale does not base its pricing on race, at least to any degree of impact that would necessitate significant reaction. If there were a recognized proclivity of bake sales providing better service to white people, then a bake sale that intentionally benefitted minorities would be necessary. But bake sales are hardly areas of much social concern of influence.
Maybe if there were no negative effects of racism in hiring and schooling practices (as limited examples), this bake sale analogy would aptly define AA. Unfortunately, we do not live in such a world. So instead this bake sale is nothing but a sign of ignorance.
