DENVER – A federal warning to beware of campers in national forests who eat tortillas, drink Tecate beer and play Spanish music because they could be armed marijuana growers is racial profiling, an advocate for Hispanic rights said Friday.

The warnings were issued Wednesday by the U.S. Forest Service, which is investigating how much marijuana is being illegally cultivated in Colorado's national forests following the recent discovery of more than 14,000 plants in Pike National Forest.

"That's discriminatory, and it puts Hispanic campers in danger," said Polly Baca, co-chairwoman of the Colorado Latino Forum.

Is Tecate any good?

What’s it like?

[HiTech RedNeck]

If they drank Corona they’d slip through the net.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I thought Tecate was Mexican Spanish for “tom cat urine.”

It should be called “Fecate.”

It should be called “Fecalte.”

Ice cold straight out of a ice-filled bucket, it’s pretty good. ;-)

Two people were arrested, but federal officials refused to provide details

I can provide a few. The suspects are beer drinkers who favor Tecate, like to eat SPAM and tuna with tortillas, and listen to Spanish language music. They also speak Spanish.

OK with the lime and salt, and a dollop of Salsa Búfalo, but nothing to write home about.

[wolfcreek]

Not as good as DOSXX, Pacifica or Modelo Negro.

Same catagory a mule piss Corona.

LOL out loud.

[muawiyah]

The critics are the racists here. Not everyone who eats tortillas, drink Tecate beer and plays Spanish music is Hispanic!

I actually like Dos Equus. Surprised the heck out of me.

I’m not so sure it’s worth more than a 6-pack of Miller, though.

[NormsRevenge]

I defer to other ‘experts’ and beer connoisseur of the forum.

I was usually dehydrated after walking from the cruise pier to a local cantina.. It passed my chill test. Pacifico and Dos Eques are pretty OK.

[VeniVidiVici]

Now, why is this any different than putting out a warning to steer clear of any white guys with beady eyes drinking moonshine and playing ‘Dualing Banjos’?

[ßuddaßudd]

Its almost like Modelo, but not quite.... ▲

[savedbygrace]
