Well, on there we will have to differ.
He hurt the rights of American kids who wanted to be punky flag bearers. And they had every right to do so. You can't just call the police because you are white and see a black person in the neighborhood sporting an afro. He might have been a psycho, but that's not the point. You are allowed to express yourself in a civil society. If the Mexicans are getting so upset by that, then maybe they need a bit of self reflection....and deportation orders.
What I am saying is that if you live in a new culture you should show some respect for it. Sure i hate Korea sometimes, but it's my home and I appreciate it for what it is. But I'm not going to decorate myself in the England flag and do a march just to prove a point to the natives just because it's a national holiday. And likewise when it's their special holidays I roll my eyes and laugh. I don't get upset by it though, I just take it for what it is.
If I don't like how things are, I can always go home and I know that. Same for these people if it is so upsetting for them. They are just being drama queens though.
I don't understand how you can't see why it's provocative. It wouldn't be provocative on any other day, but to wear those colours/flag on that specific day and only on that specific day, is baiting. Plain and simple.
If anything the kids got rewarded for it anyway. They got sent home. I'd call that a result.

If you are an Englishman living in England you should be able to wear those colours anytime you like, unless your school has a specific uniform in which case NOBODY should be wearing any colours. That's my point here, it is a school, if there is no uniform policy then the kids cannot be blamed. No Mexican colours and no US colours either.

I just don't get how the Mexicans living in America can be upset by American people wearing their own colours. It is a bit rude, but that's it. Would it really upset you that much? I know it wouldn't bother me. If the Koreans all started wearing Korean flags, would I be upset? No, I know they are all hardened nationalists. It wouldn't bother me a bit.
