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’ve found that doing a google search for an article and adding the words *free republic* is WAY more productive than using FR’s search engine.

There are white Hispanics and black Hispanics. That’s why Hispanic is a separate box in ethnicity

The other article headline left out the owners are Hispanic, totally new aspect.

That's very PC of you, FRiend, ... In my part of the world, they are BROWN -- plain and simple. What's so hard about that?

Au contraire. I was simply saying that Mexicans/Spanish are of the white race...according to the scientific classification of the RACES - not ethnicity. Of Spanish origin, Mexicans originate in Europe.

It would appear that it is YOU who is falling victim to "PC"...and perhaps suffering from the education - or lack of it - in the schools for the past few decades?

"Brown" is not a RACE...It is however, being used as a political tool - aka "PC", and people are swallowing the Kool-Ade.

Let us reason together FRiend. By way of context, I'm in Texas and that colors (pun intended) my thinking. We have many robberies and assaults performed by messkins thugs -- far too many. When a description of the perp is broadcast, do you advocate reporting that such a crime was done by a white guy? While realizing that may be scientifically accurate, does it really provide an apt description of the at-large criminal?

By the 60's, education WAS STARTING TO suffer.

I'm a decade or two older than you -

If you were taught that thee only 3 races: Caucasian, Mongloid, Negroid - Where does the red race come in? "White, Black, Red & Yellow"

(Of course, the American Gov't has been trying to 'disappear' the American Indian from the get go, and still are. They are still ignored as if they don't exist.)

When I was a kid growing up in Texas in the 50’s, every gas station restroom stall always had something poetic to say about Indians (feather, not dot) and buffaloes. It was pretty confusing for a 7 year old after watching the Lone Ranger and Tonto on TV every Saturday morning.

Education has come a long way since then...

When the MSM lynch mob wants to hang a white man to ‘prove’ racism - any Zimmerman, Hispanic, Asian, American Indian, or South Korean grocery store owner will do...

Same for rouge members of the FBI...

Haters - all liberal elite haters.
