You may have heard this already. In a soccer game between Lincoln (NE) East High School (largely Anglo) and Omaha South High (high percentage of Latinos), several East High students thought it would be funny as Hell to throw fake "green cards" onto the field after the game.
The story is here:
http://www.ketv.com/news/23610720/detail.htmlTake a moment to read the story, and then take a moment to read the comments. I'll readily grant that many on anonymous message boards are not on their best behavior. And to be sure, some supported the actions of the school to suspend students. That said, I've quoted some of the more interesting bigotry:
"Politically correct cr#p. The white kids are always at fault. How about the 5 white kids who wore american flag shirts to school on STINKO DE MAYO and got suspended. Time to move to
arizone."
"I guess freedom of speech is out the door? Everyone pissing and moaning about how bad this is should get to spend a month in south O, and see how many mexicans can speak English, deal with the same kind of racism and see how many of these poor whining cry babies showed up here and are not legal. Sorry, but if this happened to the white students, no one would say a word."
"Because illegals will come in and do those jobs for a fourth of the pay. Skilled tradesmen have to apprentice, have been to trade school, and are licensed by the city and/or state to do what they do. Illegals are doing these jobs without a license, they are illiterate, have alcohol and drug problems, and guess what?, they don't follow safety rules or building codes, they do shoddy work and then they get hurt. Then they go to our hospitals, with no insurance, and rack up millions in medical bills every year that the hospital ends up having to eat and then the hospital charges all of us Americans with insurance more. They get welfare for the kids they have here. They don't pay taxes but those kids get to go to our schools. They don't speak the language of the country they live in. And then there's all the illegals driving around without insurance. How many stories do you have to read about an illegal hit and run driver, no insurance, who knows if he's even using his real name, smashing into somebody, killing or seriously injuring them. These people are a drain on society and of no benefit to anyone except a few greedy contractors and packing houses. "
"Illegal immigrants might take away my social security and all the free government money they can on healthcare, education, foodstamps, and take jobs away from citizens and not pay taxes but they cant take this away from the american citizens.......Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
I have no interesting or eloquent conclusions to offer here. The story and quotes speak for themselves.
