Razorbacks are hogs.

What an offensive thing to say. They are not hogs. they are differently snouted Americans.

[xfmrman]

Hey TT, I resemble that remark!

[JamesWilson]

Come on! You made that up! How can you have a black cracker?

[xfmrman]

TT, I forgot to ask my question. If they are called the caucasians, what would their nickname be?

Beverly High School is know all around for their "Hillbillies", a bunch of low life whites, as mascots for its sports teams.

I think it's safe to say that Mr. Little Owl's attempt to make Whitey feel guilty is a colossal failure. I am just as proud to be white as Mr. Little Owl is to be a Native American. If there was a White History Month we would need a whole year to just begin cataloging our achievements. BTW, I hope his team kicks ass.

Wasn't there some talk a while back about an FR sponsored race car

I don't know - sounds good to me, though.

Maybe someone could do an FR commemorative firearm?

Homer Simpson voice: "Ummmmmm, pistol whip."

Oh, sorry. You threw me into a stupor. What were talking about? Oh, yeah, guns! I'm all for 'em! "Ummmmmm, pistol whip."

You have helped me immensely! I have one more problem. My kids, three boys, are part Indian. Can they refer to themselves as Indian or should they use my ancestry which is an oleo of a little bit of everybody. Should I call them Mutts? Or Whiteys? Or Indio-Americans? Or should I just call them on time for dinner?

I'm thinking of asking the state of VT to name me as aminority person....male, white, Irish....so I can open an Irish casino-bar-cathouse-chapel-restaurant.

No British need apply!

[Orual]

Now what?

[varon]

Or maybe they think that Irish aren't really white.

They aren't. They're green, aren't they ;-)

[JamesWilson]

If there was a White History Month . . . .

Aahh, we already got Presidents' Day.

[Kermit]

"Indian mascots are usually BRAVES so therefore the White mascot should be a MARINE or MINUTE MAN not some wimp in a suit>"

The Fightin' Whitey has a concealed carry permit. It's good to see a fighting, take no prisoners salesman as a mascot, just like me.

Vermont? It might just work. Add Gun Shop, Snow Shoe Repair and Maple Syrup Distributor to your list and you're in like Flynn.

All things considered, I think "BREWERS" best represents white contributions to sport. ;^)

Now all you people just take a deep breath and relax.

In 100 years, White People will be the main attraction in Petting Zoos. I envision tourist stops like The Desert of Maine, and the Trolley Museum (don't miss that one).This could give America's suddenly new majorities a chance to link up with American tradition. It could be a valuable learning experience, teaching newcomers about the old ways of road paving, hygiene, public sanitation, etc. You know, stuff they would never get to see in the old country.

In fact, my home town would make a really good location for this kind of tourist attraction. Nothing much been happening since the bobbin factory closed down and the paper mill moved to Chile. Every year there's fewer people (white included), and the jobs would be welcome.

So don't knock it. This Fightin' Whities could be the start of something really big! I can see it now:

!Visite el Museo de los Blancos!
!Mira mira Mamacita, que pintorescos!

So this has been done before but nobody noticed.

In a word, yes. But we are not supposed to notice, much less actually talk about that now, are we?
