50. But that is clearly not what was being said with the May 5th celebration
It was an identity of culture. People reacted negatively to that identity. Surely, we as a society can work against that lack of acceptance of culture. Look at what progressives are saying on the threads about these two instances. How many times have their been references to "Americans" while talking about the white students as if the Mexican students aren't American? How many times have people essentially (or literally in a couple instances) told the Mexican students to suck it up and deal with it? It seems very clear to me that these kids meant to intimidate. How many times in GD have people bitched about schools not doing enough to counteract bullying and now, when a school seems to be doing that, people bitch at them because it involves the American flag.
