White Americans Chant “Build That Wall” While Partying in Cancun

Another episode of white privilege has reared its ugly head. Who would dare walk into someone else’s home and spit on their floor? Someone with some real big… I digress. I don’t know how long white Americans will spit in the face of minorities before they get slapped but a lesson in respect for others needs to happen expeditiously before they open a door they can’t close.

A group of white college kids (yes kids) took a trip to Cancun for spring break. According to the Yucatan Times these kids had the audacity to chant “Build that wall!” while aboard a local tourist ship off the coast of Cancun. The article said these kids were committing “acts of xenophobia and discrimination against Mexicans within their own country,” which the paper said “should be unacceptable.”

The article went on to say while “several Mexican tourists on board the ship expressed their annoyance,” the Americans nonetheless “did not stop at all and continued singing the racist hymn.”

While many want to force us to believe racism no longer exists, we are painted vivid pictures daily of the blatant disregard for anyone that is not white. White Americans have a culture of entitlement that after 400 years still exists. At this point we must know it will never change.
