Brinley Brothers' Bistro has never been afraid of controversy, having taken some recent hits concerning its Beer Pong tournaments. Now, the downtown Florence eatery has taken on one-third of Russellville's population--Hispanics.
We doubt that Brinley's is worried about any backlash from the PC crowd, but we'll take this opportunity to educate a few folks. Mexico has a Caucasian population of 15%--think Pan's Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro or singer Placido Domingo. The other 85% is an indigenous people or a mixture; many don't even speak Spanish and are technically not Hispanic. Besides, a large percentage of chicken plant workers are Guatemalan and have an inbred animosity toward Mexicans--in other words, they won't be celebrating Mexico's Independence Day.
Now, for the salient question. Did Tim James show up?
