A Mexican-American boy sang the National Anthem, and racist NBA fans can't handle it

Yes.

Have you met the Internet?

I don't agree with that. There may have been a few but nowhere near what this kid got.

 

[Carp]

No kidding. The Spurs did him no favors by dressing him up like that or not asking what he was going to wear. It did play to a stereotype that all Mexicans are represented by Mariachi bands.

There would be a ton. Case in point, that interracial family cereal commercial on YouTube. They had to shut the comments down it got so bad.

You are kidding yourself if you think there wouldn't be a ton of racist comments.

I am guessing you have never gone on 4Chan.

 

[Carp]

It is not like they direct messaged the kid. Also, 3 of the Twitter messages that were posted on there were not negative at all.

That's the thing, for every 10,000 people there is bound to be one retard.

Consider me steamed.

Wow. How can we ask people to integrate into our culture and be patriotic Americans if we reject them when they do it. I would have a problem with an American singing the Mexican national anthem (if it has words, I don't know, not all of them do.).

If an American Citizen sings the national anthem it shouldn't matter what his ethnicity is.

Sorry I offended you, Zeb Colter.

Although minority groups may legally equal rights, it's still these internal racist thoughts that make it different to be a minority in America versus a Caucasian.

I hate racism. I know I joke a lot about it, but it's all in fun. But, to be fair, I hate any discrimination. Women should be treated like men. Whites/Blacks/Yellows/Browns should all be treated the same.

Where I differ with libs is, they should really be treated the same. One shouldn't be given an advantage over another or the balance is off again. Just equal.

I was making reference to another poster who thought he could troll a thread with passive aggressive troll posts. It wasn't directed at you.

Ah, I see you were saying "Insert Outraged Troll Post Here" rather than accusing me of trolling by being annoyed at the Twitter Trolls.

This whole situation annoys the hell out of me. For it to be downplayed by posts saying "oh well they shouldn't have dressed him in that" or "those posts weren't all that negative" or "dang bad guys on the internets can't help themselves" is stupid.

BTW the twitter posts in the OP were a very small sample. There were thousands. It's sickening.

Whites/Blacks/Yellows/Browns should all be treated the same.

I noticed you wrote 'white' first.

You racist bastard.

And browns last because I hate the little brown piece of crap that sang OUR national anthem.

Darius Rucker was supoosed to sing it, but he cancelled. Thankfully we can blame a black guy for this.
