Do you celebrate 4th of July in Mexico?
Some mexicans like myself celebrate the 4th of July here in the States just like every other American (how about that) and we put up the stars stripes in front of our house.
On the 5th of May and Sept. 16th we put up the Mexican flag in front of our house and so what? Doesn't mean we are not proud Americans, just means we are true to our roots...

And I think they sent those kids home because I'm pretty sure they weren't just wearing the American flag they most likely did it to start shit and probably were talking hella shit about Mexicans just like yesterday on Xbox I was rockin my Mexican flag title and there was like 4 dudes on my team saying "fuck all you beaners this is the worst day of the year you all should get deported" and hella other bullshit

I think most of you are missing the main point here. It's that it should never ever be wrong to wear our countries colors 365 days a year! This is whats wrong, not the Mexican this and that and racial comments.

A person should never deserve an ass whoopin for wearing a U.S. flag in the united states don't care what fuckin holiday it is. If anything people waving flages from other countries should catch an ass whoopin here in the USA

The only reason this is even a controversy is because America is a great country. We believe in freedom, people from other countries risk there lives get here.Then some get here and demand there own rights, speaking like they deserve something. Pride in there country(they couldn't wait to leave). You can be proud of your heritage but it makes me irritated when it is put above the pride you should have to be a American. I think the Mexican holiday should be a fun event. But when you try to put above the fact that this is America you are wrong. Those people at that school better be careful there are plenty of examples of what happens when you tread on America ...and it isn't pretty for the offenders.

I agree 100%, I don't care if its another countries holiday i will wear my American Flag shirt whenever i want. Hell we asked the only Mexican dude on our crew what Cinco De Mayo was and he had no idea. They don't even celebrate it in Mexico.

Unfortunately, your coworker not knowing about his country's history with the French is irrelevant to your argument.
I am split on this controversial topic. On one hand I believe that anyone should be able to wear their country's colors at any time, in support of freedom of speech. Then, troublemakers who can't accept/handle that should be punished heavily.
On the other hand, these punk kids from Morgan Hill were antagonists. Their specific objective was to stir the pot of controvery. They got what they wanted.
IMHO, anyone at that school should have been allowed to wear colors representing the USA or Mexico. And if some small group provoked the situation leading to physical violence, then the school should have taken action then. Until some intolerance leads to an escalated situation, I don't see anything wrong here.
I'm still 50/50 right on the edge of this one though given that I have reasonable confidence about these punks objectives and agenda... [ May 07, 2010, 10:12 AM: Message edited by: Luke87GT ]

Haha, this shit is funny. American's have gotten to soft & sensitive. These people crying about everything now a days. For the most part people that come to this country just want a better life just like back in the day the only difference is they don't have to slaughter people to live here. I cant even remember the last time I have seen a native American. The funny thing is anytime you see a protest and a flag gets burned, they are not people of color. I don't get it. I do agree that something has to be done about illegal immigration, but the moment you open the door to amending the constitution you are opening a door that will never close.
Hate & Fear is a plague that will never be cured.

snakebit this has nothing to do with amending the constitution, this is a federal law that has been on the books for 58 years. the state of arizona chose to make it (word for word) their state law so their police can enforce it as a violation of their state law because the feds wont enforce it. its really that simple. only now its been blown out of proportion as a race issue. because that sells news papers.

I still dont see how if your are here "illegally" you think you have rights?
Illegal \Il*le"gal\, a. [Pref. il- not + legal: cf. F. ill['e]gal.]
Not according to, or authorized by, law; specif., contrary to, or in violation of, human law; unlawful; illicit; hence, immoral; as, an illegal act; illegal trade; illegal love. --Bp. Burnet. [1913 Webster
I know we all read english on this site so until the law is changed regardless of your intent ie: (better life or crime lord) you aren't (authorized) to be here so how do you have anything to say? Once again I understand life sucks other places but life isn't fair. Not my opinion it is the law!
