Wonder what they chant in France?

French president says ‘too many foreigners’ in France
By Laura Rozen

Fighting an uphill reelection campaign, French President Nicolas Sarkozy declared Tuesday that there are too many foreigners in France.

"Our system of integration is working increasingly badly, because we have too many foreigners on our territory and we can no longer manage to find them accommodation, a job, a school," Sarkozy said on a three-hour French TV debate show Tuesday, the Guardian reported.

Sarkozy’s ‘Southern strategy’: French president says ‘too many foreigners’ in France

Fighting an uphill reelection campaign, French President Nicolas Sarkozy declared Tuesday that there are too many foreigners in France.

"Our system of integration is working increasingly badly, because we have too many foreigners on our territory and we can no longer manage to find them accommodation, a job, a school," Sarkozy said on a three-hour French TV debate show Tuesday, the Guardian reported.
So now you are assuming the Hispanic kids are foreigners.

Do you coach at that school?

I'm not assuming. I read an article which claimed the chants were racist because the Edison district was comprised of primarily Hispanic and immigrant students from Mexico. In today's news-speak, "immigrant" is the code word for illegal. San Antonio is already 75% Hispanic. I don't have to assume anything that has already been reported or is fact.

Kinda sorta... first you said it's probably not racist, but then you said their motivations were "questionable." That just sounded a bit conflicting to me!

Questionable, as in "Why are they chanting it," not as in, "I don't think it was a good idea."

[still not racist]

I can't respond to your post because what I have to say to you is not allowed here because of the censor police!

It has nothing to do with lack of political courage right? Blame it on political correctness. If you don't have the gumption to say what you mean, don't whine about censorship. This is all on you and no one else.

Why else would they chant it? It makes literally no sense.

Nothing more to see here than excusing racism and fear mongering, typical of the left wing.

Nationalism is a horrible disease.
Confusing! I thought the OP is a right winger. How can you blame this on the lefty's? Please explain.
