Paris’s Louvre museum said on Thursday, November 27, it would raise ticket prices for most non-EU visitors, meaning US, British and Chinese tourists among others will have to pay $37 to get in.
The museum told Agence France-Presse (AFP) the 45% price hike aims to boost annual revenues by up to $23 million to fund structural improvements at the world’s most-visited art museum, which is reeling from the daylight theft of priceless treasures last month.
From 2026, visitors from outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway will have to pay €32 – an extra €10 – from January 14, the museum and staff unions said after the measure was approved at a museum board meeting.
Literally opposite of racist. Same races are EU citizens and not EU-citizens. This is literally about residence, not race.
I mean, unless you consider US citizens to be separate race.
You are also wrong, “races” do not exist. Racism is the belief that “race” is a thing, and deducing opinions from that. Do not use racist terminology, please.
As you said racism is the belief that races exist AND that they should be hierarchized. It is true that the genetic diversity is too big in the race groups for it to be biological races, so the word usually is a synonym for way too big ethnic groups.
Thus using “race” is biologically ambiguous and “ethnic groups” should be preferred, however it is still very well socially defined. Using “race” in a social context makes sense and is far from being racist.
Saying “black people are discriminated” is a talk about race not ethnic group. “Black people” is not an ethnic group, it has hundred of ethnic groups and some ethnic groups are mixed race.
Sorry, “ethnic groups”.
