Sorry take that back. I'll reword it. If you are an American citezen, then you're an American. Your not an American if you're and illegal. Oh, and illegal means illegal.
Congratulations for derailing the thread by bringing in something wholly unrelated.
And even if Hispanics did it, so what? Doesn't give anyone the excuse to be racist. Apropos, not that the students were anyway.
I'm trying to explain that the hispanics have also been racist and anti-American. The people who did the flag abuse thing where hispanics living in America.
That's completely irrelevant. Alleged instances of Hispanic racism or anti-Americanism are besides the point.
The mere fact that a phenomenon (in this case racism) is common (and even practiced by both sides), does not make said phenomenon justifiable and well-founded.

It was a picture of a green face... What?
I don't really consider it racist, because both teams are consisting of American citizens, I would call it xenophobic. But I wouldn't really consider it to be either.
This happened a lot last year in Serbia, and no one made a fuss about it, but when Americans do it, ooh it's suddenly drama. Even I've done it a few times, when I win in kick-box against an Asian/Negro/Hispanic and I start yelling out "Serbia! Serbia!" even though the people I beat are 300% Serbian. No one took offence, what a surprise.
People just need to stop being so sensitive about the smallest thing like these, it's just words, same like swear words.
Even in the case of a serious offense, going straight on to court seems foolish; at least address the other team, try dialogue and possibly demand excuses; you know, solve that internally. At least that's how they would do it around here. I don't know details of how, when and why that hispanic american team went to court, so I could be wrong, but it sounded as if the other team was presented a plaint out of the blue.. they could still try to solve that out of court though.
People are too money hungry to solve anything outside of court. It doesn't really matter what it is that you do to offend someone... you're likely to be taken to court so they can glean as much money from the situation as possible.
I was watching a gag video on youtube. A kid was walking around a grocery store with a fart machine. He would walk up to people, bend over, and then make the fart noise with the machine. He did that one time to some black woman and she almost immediately resorted to "I'll sue you!" Granted, there are always extra circumstances that we may or may not be privvy to from the situation depicted in the article... but that's the usual for the US. It's somewhat like how in soccer/futbol when someone doesn't even get touched but flops on the ground writhing in imaginary pain so as to seize the moment and get all they can get to get ahead.
