The Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Brewerstan, formerly Arizona, headed by Death Angel Jan Brewer, may soon be announcing the highest holy day that particular regime could celebrate: Whitey Day.   I hate to even think about how the Death Angel\u2019s gun-toting militias will celebrate it.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"5whiteyday\"Arizona\u2019s unremitting campaign against its Hispanic communities has certainly reached an extreme, with the state GOP initiating<\/a><\/font> a spate of radical anti-immigrant laws, banning Mexican-American and other ethnic studies<\/a><\/font>, and ensuring that Spanish-speakers will never hold elected office<\/a><\/font>.

Ash was \u201ctrying to lighten things up,\u201d but when CBS 5 asked if he was serious about a Caucasian holiday, he offered an unequivocal \u201cyes\u201d:<\/font><\/p>\n

ASH: Yes, I think it was appropriate. It was appropriate for the mood that was in the House and I<\/font> think that if and when the Caucasian population becomes a minority, they may want to celebrate the accomplishments and the contributions of the Caucasian population the same way.<\/strong><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n
