A judge ruled that a school district could bar a student from wearing a Mexican and American flag sash at graduation — but she did it anyway (archive.vn)

"I'm a 200 percenter — 100% American and 100% Mexican," she told a recent school board meeting in Colorado's rural Western Slope, per AP.

"100% Mexican," but clearly you choose to live in America. And not even in a border state.

Hm.

Looks like that school doesn't teach math anymore.

Either that or they just graduate anyone with a skin tone darker than printer paper.

How come these people get two countries, and I only get one?

I know schools are pretty strict about stuff at graduation so as not to cause any scenes. This is pretty mild compared to other things I’ve heard. I do wonder how much time she has actually lived in Mexico.

I know there are "asians" who never went to their "home" country, do not speak the language but identify as "asians". I assume a lot of mexicans are like that.

When being a "minority" is a virtue worthy of praise and privilege why would anyone not identify as one.

That’s true. I’ve always seen myself as American through and through. I’m fluent in Spanish due a lot to working in heavily Hispanic areas where very little English is as spoken. I’ve known older Hispanics who get their citizenship or green card and proudly wave the American flag but their grandkids are Americanized so like you said since it’s trendy to be from another country they will display all sorts of things from another country they never even visited. I get wanting to know where your ancestors are from and learning about it but it strikes me as odd to see such loyalty to a country you’ve never stepped foot in. Even more ridiculous with black Americans and Africa. Many many generations removed

Second generation Mexicans massively overcompensate how Mexican they are because of how insecure they are about everything. Like, they are the ones waving flags, speaking unnecessary Spanish, and flaunting shit like this.

Its the same as the Asian one but twice as bad because their parents were illegal, so they are even more insufferable about it.

It's not just Asians, either - looking in from the outside it appears to me that a large chunk of Americans have been so propagandized into hating their own country, they will grasp at the flimsiest straw to identify as literally anything else. "Oh I'm really Norwegian because two of my grand-grandparents came from there in the early 20th century. No, I don't speak the language, or know literally anything about the country, I've never been there." Same with Irish, German, Italian, pretty much any place that isn't the USA.

This is a mess, as it goes from some mixed opinions to they should fuck off.

On the lowest end, she may be a bit of an attention seeker but she's only doing it in the lightest way without infringing on people so it's a meh.

Now to the two shitty things, first the federal courts taking this up because and siding with the school to say no you can't wear this than just, I don't know, ignoring it or saying she can't attend.

Then there's the fact she did it anyway, makes both the school AND federal courts look like balless cucks that can be easily opposed by ignoring them. I expect some spiteful fines incoming.
