So not even Mexicans in Mexico can get a breather from Donald Trump’s racist supporters. A Yucatan paper reports that as horrified Mexican passengers watched on, a group of probably drunk American spring breakers chanted “Build the wall!” during a cruise just off the coast of Cancun. Maybe these kids should have spent more time in geography class:
Passengers were reportedly stunned this month when a group of U.S. college students burst into chants of “Build the wall!” on a spring break cruise off the coast of Cancun, Mexico.
The Yucatan Times couldn’t miss the hurtful irony of privileged young Americans calling for keeping Mexicans out of the U.S. with President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall while they were traveling in Mexico for vacation.
Several Mexican tourists on the ship expressed their anger about the chant, but “the Americans did not stop” and continued their “racist hymn,” the paper reported Friday.
“This is just one of the many blameworthy behaviors that young spring breakers have shown recently in Cancun that are described as acts of xenophobia and discrimination against Mexicans within their own country,” wrote the paper.
“How arrogant they are,” wrote one passenger, a Peruvian man married to a Mexican woman. “And with that same cretinism they praise and support the decisions of their new fascist president.”
Tell us about it. No word if the fratboys wanted construction to begin before or after they left the nation they think is so terrible they want to wall off but spent their spring break in anyway.
