Students in Indiana, Iowa taunt Latinos with Trump-themed insults during basketball games...

Source: NY Daily News

Donald Trumps name is the new slur.

Students at two Midwest high schools recently hurled Trumps -themed insults at Latino students, using the presidential candidate's anti-immigration rhetoric as inspiration for repulsive basketball game chants.

Fans at Andrean High School in Merrillville, Ind. Friday held a cutout showing Trumps face and chanted "Build a wall! Build a wall!" during a basketball game against Bishop Noll Institute, which has many Latino students — highlighting Trumps pledge to erect a barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border.

... the civilized world would probably build a wall around us to keep Trump supporters from polluting the gene pool.

have given permission for their candidates and voters to be openly racist, I guess we should not be surprised. Oh, you think they did not give them permission? Please give an example when they corrected or disavowed someone since President Obama was elected....I will be waiting.

Their uneducated pointy heads don't understand the words tolerance, citizenship, helpfulness, kindness. They only know greed (primarily it's greed) and hatred for all minorities but especially Hispanics. They don't know that Trump was fined for hiring illegal Mexicans and that one of his company's has hired 500 people from outside the US and only 17 Americans in 5 years. They are too stupid and trusting of the 1%ers to even try to find out the truth.

I see adults in some of those pictures, what the hell is wrong with people? Every one of those kids needs to stand alone in the middle of the gym and have personal insults thrown at them, they might think twice, but the best way to shut a bully up is to make fun of them, make them look like fools like President Obama did to Drumpf at the correspondence dinner.

They are all Tea Party,
right wing,
evangelical,
born-again,
Christian.

Oh, and very prejudiced against everyone and everything.

We're not often in touch,

Andrean is part of Lake County
Lake County is historically the most Democratic and one of the mst ethnically diverse areas of Indiana -- it's similar to the city of Chicago. Hence the city of East Chicago is aptly named
Lake County is heavily Democratic: Carter 80, Mondale, Dukakis, Clinton, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama, Obama
They vote for Democrats for the Senate, House, etc.
