When I was in HS, the HS baseball team went play in a summer tournament somewhere in South Texas..

They were in the bleachers waiting for the game that was being played, to end and there was this little Mexican kid that passed by them, had a half eaten burrito in his hand and he looked at them and said in a voice.. the way you would think a Mexican speaking English sounds "Hey you stupid American boys. Do you want a burrito?" and threw it at them.

THis is definitely racist. Why do they only allow Latinos on the team?

The main high school in that area is 96% black. The smaller HS for the neighborhood is 44% hispanic.

Which ones were calling the hispanic kids taco boys?

I don't agree with calling them this, however is it really even that bad?

Is it so bad to be stereotyped as to liking tacos? Even if they have mean intentions..

Would I care if people called mud-bug boy?

I don't think so.

It's not cool they did that though.

They also allege that in a second incident, one of the Cobras told his teammates during a pep talk that they were going to “build a wall around home plate.”


Oh boy.

Look if that’s the worst they’re getting, the world is a lot less racist than it is being portrayed as.

So if a team of Cajuns gets called "Gumbo boys" do they need to tear up and post about it on facebook?
