This is Just Ignorant
Kentucky Winery Gets USDA Grant To Market To Minorities: "Equus Run Vineyards near Midway has been awarded a $147,000 grant from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to do a better job of marketing to those ethnic groups in Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana. "
This is quite possibly the dumbest use of tax dollars. We are supporting the explicit marketing of alcohol to minorities and flaunting it. Don't we already have a big enough addiction issue in our minority communities? Do we really want the government to help market these kinds of goods to anyone? It's not like we don't have quite a few white drunks too. No matter which way you look at this story, it is disgusting.
