I’m tired of the attitude that discrimination towards Hispanics doesn’t matter, and that they are second class citizens who don’t deserve the same protections to which other groups are entitled. Everybody seems to know that it’s not acceptable to make comments like that against a lot of other racial groups, but when it’s Hispanics being made fun of it doesn’t get taken seriously. I’ve been on high school soccer fields in Columbia where refs heard Hispanic players being called wetbacks, asked to produce their green cards, etc. – with no consequences. It’s unacceptable that society at large has this attitude, but downright outrageous in South Carolina soccer when many of the premier players over the last few years and this year are Hispanic.
