Right. And liberals passing this story around will undoubtedly expand use of the derogatory term.

Ted, haters gonna hate. Though it was kind of odd to see the kid dressed in a Mexican outfit singing the Star Spangled Banner.

I suspect that's pretty standard dress in San Antonio. If you listen to the kid talk, he sounds like he's from the mean streets of NYC. And he sings like a professional............he's been on America's Got Talent. He 'kills' the Star Spangled Banner.

By the way, I never heard of the word "beaner," except in the context of baseball.

You're joking?! How do you stay so sheltered?

I don't know if you've ever been there, but San Antonio is a very Hispanic town, with a proud Mexican heritage stretching back to before the Alamo, when it belonged to Mexico. Many Hispanic families there trace their roots back that far. They became "Americans" when the rest of the Texans in Texas did, in 1845.
