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.

As you can see, patriotic Americans were NONE TOO PLEASED that a Mexican (don’t tell these people he’s Mexican AMERICAN) sang the United States national anthem - a song so beautiful that bald eagles usually cry whenever they hear it but not tonight because a Mexican sang it.

“#GoHome.” He’s already home. He lives in San Antonio. The same San Antonio where the majority of the population is Mexican.

OK THERE, “THE GREAT WHITE.”

“I’m highly upset that THIS MEXICAN KID is singing the anthem.” lmao. Wait a few years Grace and tell us how you feel when the majority of the country is Hispanic. I look forward to hearing from you then!

San Antonio may already be your own personal hell if that’s how you feel about Mexicans, Blake.

Correction: YOU ain’t. All of the United States ain’t racist white males like you, Thomas.

lmao, DESTIN WHITE. If “what has the world come to” is your reaction a little Mexican boy singing the anthem, just you wait! Hint: your world won’t be WHITE.

And, now, for my favorite tweets: people asking why is this Mexican/illegal/foreigner/etc. singing “OUR/MY ANTHEM”…

“Our anthem!” Our racism!

And all are guilty of wearing FUBU.

ugh

excerpt from article:

Among other things, the CARE report indicates campuses have seen stark differences in recent years between the proportion of some subgroups in the general population versus the proportion of high school applicants from those subgroups.

In the state of California, for example, Filipinos made up 25 percent of all AAPI residents in 2010, with Southeast Asians comprising 18 percent and Pacific Islanders 2 percent. But among all AAPI applicants to UC-Berkeley that year, Filipinos barely comprised 10 percent, Southeast Asians 13 percent and Pacific Islanders less than 1 percent.

“The data reveal a particularly bleak picture,” states the CARE report, which makes a case for an AAPI data quality movement to better understand the variation of the educational experiences of this racial group.

….

All this underscores reasons for disaggregating AAPI student data, the CARE report states, noting, “Aggregated data provide a misleading statistical portrait of a heterogeneous AAPI population that consists of subgroups that experience divergent trends in educational outcomes. This is particularly problematic when it conceals significant disparities in opportunities and outcomes for some AAPI subgroups.”

     

YESSS ALL THIS ALL OF THIS!
