Basketball Fans PISSED a Mexican-American Boy Dared to Sing Their National Anthem

[Slim]

10 year old Mariachi singer Sebastion de la Cruz was thrust into the national spotlight last year on America’s Got Talent. Tonight, he was once again seen by the nation as he sang the national anthem at Game 3 of the NBA finals in San Antonio where the Spurs took on the Miami Heat.

Not sure if this thread belongs in HL or Coli but regardless. It's pretty hard to have a discussion on Immigration when there is still widespread belief that if you are Mexican-American or of any Hispanic descent, you are an illegal.

Nothing on twitter surprises me anymore. That first tweet was from a black haitian
You should've seen the racist stuff posted after Obama's reelection

I agree. Ignorance and bigotry will always exist.And social media allows it to be broadcast, but a kid singing the national anthem? That's pathetic.

Other than the wetback comment, it looks like nikkas are just crackin jokes. He is dressed like a little mariachi minus the hat. I kinda hate how PC this country has become.

proof that the educational system in our country is beyond broken.

funny thing is that a good portion of the united states such as texas was STOLEN from mexico by what was america @ the time over the "new frontier", "manifest destiny" bullshyt. a lot of innocent blood has been shed over time and the history books have been rewritten over and over again to hide the guilt, lies and murders that this country has done in order to have it the way it is now. ignorance built this country and it will be this countries downfall. look @ our educational system where folks from other countries in the world know more about the ins and outs of our country than WE do. folks look up to being an ignorant jackass BUT think it's terrible to be smart or "nerdy".

hispanic culture in american cities LEGALLY predates anyone who arrived on Elise Island, and in some cases there are those who can trace that LEGAL lineage back to the revolution; particularly when you're talking about the southwest.

Contrary to what you may think hispanic roots run deep in america and it's culture, they are one in the same. Mariachi music is just country music sung in spanish. For someone who is normally a reasonably intelligent person you sure do go full retard with this subject sometimes.

You are a such a jackass. No better then those idiots on twitter. Did he sing the Mexican anthem? no. You can wear whatever you damn well please as well. Smarten Up.

Let me ask you this, would you think there would be anything wrong with him singing the Mexican national anthem?

No, and that has nothing to do with this. You're previous comments were stupid, point blank. It was clothing. Mexican clothing. At hockey games, they sing the Canadian National Anthem whether there is a Canadian team or not. That is more serious then this. I know it's a shock to some, but you can recognize the current country and other cultures.
