We've seen the story of the Kansas State basketball player Angel Rodriguez being taunted by some morons in the Southern Mississippi band who chanted "where's your green card" when Rodriguez would step to the free throw line during yesterday's game (which Kansas State won). A couple of observations: first, Angel Rodriguez is from Puerto Rico, a U.S. commonwealth whose residents have been American citizens since 1917 (the Jones- Shafroth Act). Second, perhaps this bit of stupidity shouldn't surprise us, coming as it did from a school in Mississippi, where the majority of Rethugs still believe the President is Muslim and they don't believe in evolution. As a comedian once said, "you can't fix stupid."
It's clear that not only has the education system in Mississippi failed, but so has the parental upbringing of these young college dimwits, who lack the grace, poise and sportsmanship that Angel Rodriguez showed yesterday. By the way, he scored 13 points in Kansas State's victory, so suck on it, Southern Mississippi.
