Reply #134: Everyone has injustics, discriminations, and angers to deal with...

And to use that as a reason for this ridiculous overreaction is just a poor excuse. Americans are quite a diverse lot from all sorts of backgrounds, many of them Hispanic but not Mexican too. I think that Mexican-Americans should tolerate fellow Americans who wear American T-shirts on Cinco-de-Mayo in America. I don't think it is too much to ask. And I would expect the same from all Americans.

I don't know why you bring up white males. Mexicans mostly consider themselves white, and many pass for white much better than Europeans. Mexican-Americans don't have it that bad here at all, especially compared to other immigrant groups of the past. Perhaps illegal immigrants do, but that's not really a surprise. And most of the hardship comes from the economic struggles of new immigrants, not discrimination. Many live in majority-minority communities.

Plenty of white males feel injustices, discrimination, and anger. But it doesn't make them automatically correct or mean society should bend to their every want. That's just an excuse.
