Renegade Latino

So yet another bunch of the majority get together and have a party making fun of the minority - in this case Latinos and more specfically Mexicans.

Members of a University of Delaware honor fraternity who dressed up as Latino gardeners and gangsters and attended a South of the Border-theme party have stirred up outrage and cries of racism on the Newark campus…

The photographs, which appeared on a student’s Facebook Web site page, depicted students, some dressed as gardeners wearing work shirts with “Pedro” and “Jose” name tags, and a racist slur scrawled across the back. Other photos pictured a trio of the students in red, white and green shirts with the word “Mexico” on the front, and “Spicy,” “Full of Tequila” and “Hott” on the backs.

I’m so sick of this. This is not the first time this happened, and I’m sure it’s not the last. The article from delawareonline goes on to say that there were protests on campus and that the university is looking towards taking disciplinary action.

To hell with all of these people. I can’t take it anymore. Like the thing with Michael Richards and the racial slurs. Then he goes and apologizes and everything is supposed to be cool, of course he’s not racist. He just slipped. Damn, what does someone have to do to be a racist these days? Screaming racial slurs at them isn’t enough. The hell with that. You don’t see Michael Richards yelling White racial slurs at White people. Of course not. That’s not going through his mind, but when he yells at African-Americans what pops in his head, yeah racial slurs. You can take your apology and stuff it.

Fine, these are college kids. I get it. They apologized, they said they made a mistake, they’re being punished. It just gets old. I’m just waiting for when we can celebrate our differences and not put each other down. When white kids can have Mexican themed parties, or even Peruvian themed parties and we can all drink Pisco Sour and Pilsen Trujillo and have a great time. Not parties where kids ridicule minority groups and bring them down.

Esta semana te doy Don Omar con Tego Calderon - Bandoleros

Un poco tarde pero aquí esta. This song was off the Don Omar produced album Los Bandoleros. This album dropped a while ago but I listened to it heavily when I went to Peru for my summer internship. The album was pretty solid I thought. It may not have had a lot of singles, but it was an album I could put in and just let play. This song got a lot of airplsy so I’m sure most of you uys will be familiar with it. Hasta la próxima.
