After bomb threats and an uproar in complaints, a Colorado barbecue restaurant is no longer offering a discount only to white customers on “White Appreciation Day.”

Edgar Antillon, owner of Rubbin Buttz BBQ and Country Cafe in Milliken, Colorado hung a sign reading, “White Appreciation Day! June 11th. Because all Americans should be celebrated.” The Hispanic-owned restaurant garnered national attention from the sign.

Antillon claimed that there is a Black History Month and a Hispanic History Month, which meant there should also be a day to celebrate White Americans.

After the threats he changed the 10% discount to include anyone who asked for it. White Appreciation Day is still planned for June 11th.
