Arizona Lawmaker Calls for "White Appreciation Day"

Arizona is the gift that just keeps on giving. First its immigration policy took center stage, then its governor wagged her finger in the face of the President, and now one of its lawmakers is suggesting that Arizona needs a holiday for white people.

Rep. Cecil Ash, a Republican (of course)  from Mesa, spoke on the House floor about the need for a white people's holiday.

It all started when Rep. Richard Miranda suggested that the state adopt a Latino holiday.

After some heated exchanges, Rep. Cecil Ash took the floor.

"I'm supportive of this proposition. I just want them to assure me that when we do become in the minority you'll have a day for us," Ash said.

When questioned about his proposition, Ash defended his statement by saying, "Yes, I think it was appropriate. It was appropriate for the mood that was in the House and I 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."

It would seem that we already have white appreciation day because, in all honesty, what day isn't a good day to be white and appreciated?

Moronic statement.

why not? theres african american history month, and all kinds of other holidays for jewish people and mexican people.....why not? because if white people do it then we're racist? cry me a river. I dont like AZ, but i can agree with the right to have one for us too.

 ooooo I got a video!! Hold on!

[JakeandEmmasMom]

 Silly.  It is mandatory in virtually every state in this country to spend years learning about the accomplishments of white people.

Do I get to pick my own fruit, watch the World Cup, listen to Bob Marley, eat hummus, and wear a peacoat?


If yes, I'm in!

Considering every day is basically white appreciation day, I say no. How can you even try to set up a day like that? It's too broad. And IMO silly.
