Week 15 - Mexican-American boy's national anthem sparks racist comments

An 11 year old boy sang the national anthem at NBA Final Game 3. Crowds praised an 11 year old boy; social medias focused on him by singing the national anthem. However, there weren't only optimistic views from social medias; some users applied with negative comments.

"Why they got a Mexican kid singing the national anthem" Daniel Gilmore

"How you singing the national anthem looking like an illegal immigrant" Andre Lacey

"Why is a foreigner singing the national anthem. I realize that's San Antonio but that still ain't Mexico" Lewie Groh

"Who let this illegal alien sing our national anthem?" Matt Cyrus

The reaction of San Antonio was positive "I can't satisfy everyone."

I think this comments shows the dark part of United States of America. Majority of people treated him as a boy who sang the national anthem, but few people mistreated him and disputed some problems. I hope similar events will never happen again.

This event is related to US history, United States of American was the nation of freedom; everyone can share their thoughts and abilities. Many people immigrated to US for the future, but there were negative consequences confronted. KKK was the one who opposed the variety in US. US have the same controversial events that is happening today or in 20th century.
