Well if you want the background story. There was a story about the restaurant offering the discount and I quipped a remark about people getting their panties up in a bunch and the world being so worried about being politically correct. And then I started to get attacked because I'm white and I don't know what it's like to be made fun of, etc etc. Then a prevalent Southern California Mexican advocate/journalist questioned if I would mind if a local Southern BBQ restaurant would come out with a "Pickaninny Special". Later that day I saw that the newspaper that he writes for posted pictures of a Cinco De Mayo event they held, and just thought how strange it is that one thing is offensive and racist while the other is not.
Does that make any sense?
