Clumped in the stands, according to the Dallas Morning News, a group of Archer City students holding Trump/Pence signs and wearing wigs, trucker hats and fake mustaches directed a chant toward their opponents on the other side of the gym: “Build that wall.”

Fort Hancock is about an hour south of El Paso, along the Mexican border. The Fort Hancock Independent School District’s student population is 97 percent Hispanic, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Shameful, but not surprising.

The people of this region know the negative impact of illegal immigration more than anyone. Their rightful desire to see the wall built shouldn't be negated by the hurt feelings of other students who I'm sure will lash out violently like all the white Clinton kids are doing as a result of this "provocation."

Racism is alive and well even on this forum, I see. Who cares if some brown children have their emotions hurt; they should've been born white if they wanted to be important, right?

You're posting to someone who has claimed that people of color of tried to kill him twice because he supports Trump. He's really been damaged by non-whites.

He also supported white nationalism at one point.

Assuming they were trying to kill me (they obviously weren't, though the latter incident was a bit more serious since it involved vehicles), how is that not a damaging experience? Are you saying their feelings and emotions matter more than my life if it ever came under threat? Yes or no? Answer the question.

They literally did it to attack Hispanic students for being Hispanic. And most people who are actually on the border oppose crazy things like border walls. Plus all the "negative impact" of undocumented workers entering the US is bs or heavily exaggerated and reliant on assuming that the rights of people (with brown skin) from other countries don't matter.

....You do realize that many illegal immigrants (including some from Asia, and even Europe) came here legally and merely overstayed their visas, right? "The Wall" will not do a thing to stop them.

Are you seriously using those ridiculous things called "facts"? How retro.

Don't waste logic on him.  He was lost long ago to Trumpism.

Some of those immigrants from Asia have been coming over without a proper visa for 20,000 years.

Sanchez is fully back on the white nationalist train, now that he knows it can win you the Midwest.

I have seen a similar experience to this. So, on Halloween a local catholic school in my city was holding a Halloween dance and the soccer team dressed up as 'Mexicans', basically guys in ponchos and sombreros and well they were dancing and the entire student body surrounded them and chanted "BUILD THAT WALL" and then some guy dressed up as Trump smacked one of the 'Mexicans' to the ground and pretended to arrest him.

Why should I sympathize with their "plight" again?

If Sanchez is, truly, of Hispanic heritage, he should be ashamed of himself for saying the things he said in this thread. How disappointing. It's one thing to be a conservative voter; it's another to turn your head away to real acts of racism and attempt to rationalize them.

That's the post office where Andy Dufresne mailed a postcard to Red to let him know that he was crossing into Mexico after he busted out of prison in The Shawshank Redemption.

I think you're a nice person so hopefully you don't condone kids harassing classmates on the basis that they're of Mexican ancestry.  I'm not Mexican but some of my middle and high school classmates thought I was. (I am half South Asian and half white, so I'm kind of brown).

True story.  On Monday night, I was heading back from a job interview in Europe, and had to change planes in Detroit.  After getting out of the jet bridge, I was heading down an escalator with other passengers when a it was abruptly shut off.  A bottleneck had formed at the bottom of the escalator because an access door to the immigration and customs hall was locked, and there was no more room left for people in front of it.  We stood there waiting for a few minutes, when suddenly somebody on the ground level by the door yelled out: "he built the wall!"

So much drama. No matter what you say or how you try to spin it, there is no justification for harassing or attacking people like these students did.

I don't condone it, but there is a scale at play here: you can't condemn this and not condemn the other events (less frequent yet often more violent) directed at us. It's a glaring hypocrisy.

But there is justification if you voted for Trump right? We've got it coming, right?

I'm entirely aware of that. Doesn't mean the wall is any less necessary. If over a million crossed the river in 2000, imagine how many came in via legal ways and overstayed their visas. Hint, hint, nineteen of them later became famous for their involvement in a certain event.

Also Jerry, quit stalking me. It's weird and it's annoying.

See, now this, this is something that I don't approve of. This is a little bit more than a harmless chant. I went to a small South Florida private school that wasn't particularly elitist and a bit more diverse than most, and I think a "Build the Wall" chant wouldn't offend anyone, but that type of stuff would. Don't get involved in that kind of behavior, CC, it's your freshman year, you'd be better off chasing after girls or doing drugs or studying or doing whatever it is what High Schoolers do .

I am not Hispanic. I'm a half-Italian/half Scots-Irish Baptist with mostly Appalachian roots. But I find the idea that you're calling one of the most decidedly anti-collectivist posters on Atlas "a race traitor" because I happen to have the word "Sanchez" in my username (which is a reference to Superpower II-only Snowstalker played that game. We first met on the multiplayer servers there, oddly enough).

I've met plenty who completely throw away their cultural roots and begin acting in this way, so yea.

Regardless of whiter or not you're of Hispanic origin, I'm fascinated that you did not deny the observation that you are attempting to rationalize racist behavior.
