Latino BBQ joint to host ‘White Appreciation Day’
*At first I though this was a joke. But these guys are serious – although the idea began as a joke. On June 11, white people get a 10 percent discount at Latino owned Rubbin Buttz BBQ, in Milliken, Colorado. So … do White folks have to show ID? VL

MILLIKEN, Colo. — The Hispanic owners of a barbecue restaurant in Milliken say they plan to host a “White Appreciation Day” next month.
What started as a joke is now on the calendar. Edgar Antillon and Miguel Jimenez recently purchased Rubbin Buttz BBQ on Broad Street. On June 11, they plan to offer a 10% discount to all white customers and no one else.
“We have a whole month for Black History Month,” Antillon said. “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.”
