Thanks for proving my point Roy.

I don't want anyone to be the agitator. And I haven't seen anything that indicates that happened in this case.

I just think its going to be funny if they do find evidence of Mexican flag waving, which is pretty common here in California, how they are going to spin it.

We had a case of kids sent home for wearing American flag t-shirts which were deemed racist. The fact that the illegals wore Mexican flag t-shirts was overlooked.

.
You said you can't wait to see photos or videos of the kids waving Mexican flags. Wouldn't that make them the agitators in this situation?

Wow, what an odd response.

For what reason would you want proof?

Here's an episode of bigotry. First you respond saying there can't be any other explanation than bigotry. Then when someone comes along who actually does have an explanation of why it was just in fun, instead of going "Oh good, I'm glad our high school students aren't bigots" you demand proof. It's like you actually want it to be bigotry for some sick reason.

Are you personally invested in them being bigots or something?

The problem as I see it is come May 5 American students of Mexican descent have no problem claiming they are Mexican. So what's the problem if American students of non-Mexican descent claim an American identity?

The problem is that these students claim that only Whites are Americans, which would mean you, who claim to be Black, is not America, assuming your story is true.

I didn't hear any students claiming anything like what your saying. If anything the mehicans should have joined in chanting USA unless of course they got some problem with our country. If they do then get the hell out. Pretty simple stuff. If I lived in some country I despised and I had free reign to leave I sure as hell would.

Racism, bigotry, and xenophobia are horrible. As is extreme ignorance.
