\"2013<\/a><\/p>\n

We all knew after game 3 that the meme creators and Twitterverse were going to have fun going off and making fun of LeBron James<\/a>. \u00a0Fine. He's a rich, famous, powerful adult celebrity in the spotlight because he's one of, if not the, best at what he does. \u00a0Even Jimmy Kimmel had some fun with a bunch of NBA players ranging from Kobe to Chris Paul reading \"mean tweets\" on TV<\/a>\u00a0and it was fine to laugh again\u00a0because these are all adults that should be able to ignore the words of children and immature \"adults.\"<\/p>\n

What is not fine with me is the hundreds of racist comments made about Sebastian De La Cruz - the 10 year old Mexican-American that sang the Nation Anthem before game 3. \u00a0Below are some of those tweets along with commentary by the blog Public Shaming<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you can see, patriotic Americans were NONE TOO PLEASED that a Mexican (don\u2019t tell these people he\u2019s Mexican AMERICAN) sang the United States national anthem - a song so beautiful that bald eagles usually cry whenever they hear it but not tonight because a Mexican sang it.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

\u201c#GoHome.\u201d He\u2019s already home. He lives in San Antonio. The same San Antonio where the majority of the population is Mexican.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

OK THERE, \u201cTHE GREAT WHITE.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m highly upset that THIS MEXICAN KID is singing the anthem.\u201d lmao. Wait a few years Grace and tell us how you feel when the majority of the country is Hispanic. I look forward to hearing from you then!<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

San Antonio may already be your own personal hell if that\u2019s how you feel about Mexicans, Blake.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

Correction: YOU ain\u2019t. All of the United States ain\u2019t racist white males like you, Thomas.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

lmao, DESTIN WHITE. If \u201cwhat has the world come to\u201d is your reaction to a little Mexican boy singing the anthem, you just wait! Hint: your world won\u2019t be WHITE.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

And, now, for my favorite tweets: people asking why is this Mexican\/illegal\/foreigner\/etc. singing \u201cOUR\/MY ANTHEM\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n
