Another example of how racist this country is. He shows pride in his culture and you hear this crap. Did the silver medal not go to the US count? Was he not wearing a USA singlet? Did he not have the American flag in his other had? My God some people are sensitive. Get over yourself. A guy should be able to show pride in his culture once in a while without people crucifying for it. Just goes to show the racism that still exists in this country.
Someone doesn't know what racism is. Hint: Mexican is not a race. He was representing the USA in international competition. His cultural pride should be in the culture of a country that accepted him and and family and enabled him to use his talent and work ethic to make a living for himself, not the country that he had to leave because his family couldn't make a living there. I'd be pissed if some Irish born American runner was running around with an Irish and American flag at the olympics too.
