DENVER — Black History Month is February. Hispanic Heritage Month is Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. And at one Colorado barbecue joint, June 11 is White Appreciation Day.

Two Hispanic restaurant owners, Edgar Antillon and Miguel Jiminez, who recently bought Rubbin Buttz BBQ in Milliken, Colorado, have decided to offer a 10 percent discount that day to white customers.

“We have a whole month for Black History Month,” Mr. Antillon told 9News in Denver. “We have a whole month for Hispanic Heritage Month, so we thought the least we could do was offer one day to appreciate white Americans.”

It may have started out as a joke, but now there’s a sign taped on the restaurant’s window and posted on his Twitter feed announcing the event with the message, “Because all Americans should be celebrated!!”(continued)

I saw it this morning from another source.

You do the best you can with FR’s limitations.

The truth is that if you had ancestors on the American frontier before 1780, your chances of Native American ancestry is about 1 in 17; before 1680, it jumps to about 1 in 9.

With a dearth of women on the frontier, a decline in the Native American population and the desire of some tribes to offer daughters in marriage either to gain alliances to ensure advantages or even survival, it was not an uncommon practice.

John Rolfe and Pocahontas, of course, were the earliest and best example.

Obviously outdated article, from long ago.

First, it’s un-PC.

Second, it was probably before oriental populations were heavy. I think they win every time, esepcially these days when whites more emulate low class now.

Aren’t all Hispanics white, unless they are black?

Yes they are. All Mexicans of Spanish decent are white Europeans. Hispanic is a language group, not a race.

That's very PC of you, FRiend, much like how the hussein hut called George Zimmerman a white Hispanic and how the leftist lamestream media whitened his face to appear white. In my part of the world, they are BROWN -- plain and simple. What's so hard about that? Even George Bush called his grandkids, the "little brown ones" and he was 100% right, at least on that!

Was my Social Studies class back in 60’s incorrect when it stated there are only 3 distinct races: Caucasian, Mongloid, Negroid? Has genetic studies shown that to be wrong? Serious question.

Mixed Race here as well.

3/4 Italian and 1/4 Scottish even though there is a vicious Rumor in the Family that some English and Irish snuck in.

We’re still trying to track that Rumor down. LOL
