He Thought Wearing the Mexican Flag at His Graduation Was a Good Idea

[XponentialChaos]

Wearing a flag from another country doesn’t raise such questions for me.

You dont want to know

If he is here illegally him and his whole family should be deported

A person showing pride in their culture isn’t an indication that they are here illegally.

Him wearing a flag does not bother me at all. I’d rather have him here than some piece of shit who wants our elected officials murdered. But that’s just me.

You should talk

Has the high school student been questioned about his legal status by the appropriate authorities? Because wearing a flag doesn’t warrant such an investigation.

Unfortunately for you, you’re an idiot. Your inability to reason isn’t my problem.

I think it does draw attention to his immigration status

And he brought it on himself

Do you have any evidence for this or are you just making shit up again?

How about we just fast-forward to the part where you admit you base that on ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and I call you an idiot?

“I did it for my family. They came over here to give me a better future.”

Then why isn't he wearing an American flag?

He is representing the flag of what could have been a much worse future? I dont know what to tell you, these immigrants are often confused people when it comes to that Mexican flag. Mexico is so bad that they flee it, crossing a dangerous desert with rapist coyotes, only to show up here and tell us how awesome Mexico is. Its ******* weird, man.

It shows you their agenda is Not to become AMERICAN but to colonize America for Mexico

They seriously DO NOT BELONG HERE. A good government would be vetting these colonizers and throwing them out. Their citizenship must be revoked

Ban St. Patrick’s day. When we are all Irish right? Slam the doors on English Pubs and lock them. Ban the sale of Belgian style beer. Prohibit Japanese Restaurants’s.

Prohibit those ethic neighborhoods. No more Chinatowns. No more Little Italy.

That isn’t becoming more American. Right?

Idiots.

Proud of Mexico, but doesn't want to live there

Most of us here descend from people who are proud of their heritage but didn't want to live there.

Is that a problem?

We have tens of millions of illegals living in this country. You accept it as fine.

YOu are the one who is "not smart".

Really?

Do you question their immigration status?

The elephant sitting in the living room seems to be invisible to very intelligent people whom I respect, so pardon me when I say it, but the offender has deep feelings for family members he was separated from at an early age, and he is just a kid, chemically altered by a deep chasm of lovingkindness toward those he lost and felt his only way to show them honor and respect was to wear their symbol which he had no idea he would offend current benefactors who paid his way with taxation.

He knew exactly what he was doing. If he was graduating, he was not uneducated so the "he didn't know" excuse holds no water. Send him back to the country that he feels such love for but doesn't want to live in.

That would only show how intolerant we are as a culture. If the shoe were on the other foot, and it has been since the Mayflower dropped my mother's ancestor off at Plymouth Rock, we might have had a Union Jack flag flying the day American natives hosted the first Thanksgiving. Would we have been considered in contempt of their generosity of sharing a feast to very hungry Pilgrims showing signs of starvation?
So, right or wrong, I feel the youngster showed poor taste. If he earned the diploma, however, I hope he apologizes for his bad manners. If he does appologize, I hope the diploma he earned is given to him as a sign his alma mater forgives him.

Hopefully he learned how to comply with a dress code. He thought that dress codes applied to everybody else but him, but now he has found out that he is included.

The Italians and the Germans were not just walking across the border against the law and did not have an historical claim to much of our territory.

AND, their periods of immigration were several generations ago. IF there were tens of millions of Italians or Germans living in our country I would hope that ICE would be infiltrating the shit out of those celebrations to find and deport illegals.

 

[Coyote]

The school handled it badly. They have no right to deprive him of a diploma he earned and at any point prior to walking on stage, they could have taken him aside, and explained the policy issue in stead of waiting until he is up there to humiliate him. That's just wrong.

That doesn't make any difference. They did and can immigrate illegally just like anyone else. And many Mexicans immigrate here legally.

"Historical claim" is not the reason they immmigrate.

AND, their periods of immigration were several generations ago. IF there were tens of millions of Italians or Germans living in our country I would hope that ICE would be infiltrating the shit out of those celebrations to find and deport illegals.

Maybe they should, just in case, after all they're displaying foreign reglalia and flags right? They aren't "real" Americans right?

Question. If the Confederate Flag is a symbol of heritage but not hate, why do people display it? Are you saying they want to live in the Confederacy?

It's part of AMERICAN history. It is NOT the Mexican flag.

And did some graduating senior drape himself in the Confederate flag?

Actually Mexico is a large part of American history.

DECADES ago, when I graduated, the schools were already really cracking down on graduation antics. We were all warned that any theatrics would likely get our diploma withheld.

Considering the increased SJW shit AND the lure of posting videos for internet likes, I can only imagine the difficulty that schools face trying to keep control during these events.


This guy choose to make a political statement.

Maybe we just need to admit that due to increased diversity and polarization, we are no longer a society that can have nice things, like graduation ceremonies.

 

[Coyote]

Truly disgrceful. Its Un American to cling on to your roots.

If clinging to your roots means disrespecting the nation that educated you, then its unamerican. Only a complete ******* douche bag would do that, let alone agree with it.

You characters are miserable old bastards. If he does his job and pays his taxes its got **** all to do with you what is in his heart. You just hate minorities.

None of your petty insults address the actual topic. Its a real douchebag move to wear the flag of the shit nation you fled, when youre graduating in the nation that educated you and gave you a better life. Patriotic immigrants are ******* awesome, but these unamerican losers can go **** themselves. Anyone who has a Mexican flag is a ******* loser.

So you're a douchebag if you indicate pride in your heritage? Interesting.

What does this have to do with a dress code for HS graduation?

Fair points, but again - the school could have handled it better imo (and, knowing highschool students, I know it can be difficult) - I don't think withholding the diploma is reasonable, it was earned. They could stopped him prior to going on stage couldn't they?
