Ted, I suspect that's pretty standard dress in San Antonio. I really doubt it. It looks more like something a Mexican band member would wear. I don't think even Mexican kids would go to school dressed in that, even a school that is 95% Latino. I get the idea, though. The kid is dressed in a way that celebrates his Mexican-American heritage, and that's just part of the diversity of this great nation. If that offends those who fear an "invasion of Mexicans," maybe they ought to get over themselves. Tenchusatsu

>> I suspect that's pretty standard dress in San Antonio. Really? You think that's how Mexican kids walk around in San Antonio? That almost sounds racist to someone who's not.

My wife has hispanic relatives in San Antonio and I've visited San Antonio a bunch of times and that isn't standard dress there. People there, regardless of ethnicity, dress like other Americans. The style that kid wore is common in mariachi bands everywhere in America though and might be worn by Mexican-American singers and musicians if they're doing Mexican style music and occasionally* by Tejano style musicians, though they usually go modern or cowboy-western. * Example: Flacco Jimenez
