Back in June, media outlets looking to find racial bigotry in America promoted a story of a basketball game in Coronado, California. The media posted video of the incident, in which two students tossed tortillas into the air, which a local CBS outlet called a “disturbing moment.”
The media presented the story as the tortillas being thrown by Coronado students at their Orange Glen opponents, described as “mostly Hispanic.” The video shows a tense situation even before the tortillas are thrown, yet it is explained that the tortillas sparked the outrage.

Ha! Perfect.
Was there any ‘smirking’ going on while these food items were being twirled?
Taco Hell stopped serving double decker Tacos so I have generated my own recipe. Think I’ll go get one now.
“Well how do you think I feel, Dmitri”
Sounds good. I like mango salsa by the way.
I guess they have never been to a Texas Tech football game.
An old friend of mine who went to Hollywood High School in Hollywood, Calif. told me that when they played their rival Fairfax High School, which had a large Jewish population, students would throw matzo balls onto the field—and the Fairfax students would return the favor, throwing prophylactics onto the field because the name of Hollywood’s football team is the Sheiks.

That’s how I refer to January 6. Perspective is everything.
People throw tortillas because they are throw-able...like a frisbee. It has NOTHING to do with race. Years ago I “ran” in the Bay to Breakers 5K in SF several times, and several times the pre-race festivities included a great deal of tortilla-throwing. In no way was it intended or perceived as having anything to do with race (and for the record, Mexican is not a race. “Hispanic” is not a race, “Latin” is not a race.
Another story of inventing racism where no racism existed, by someone of that same race that was supposedly being maligned by guilty white supremacists.
Exactly.
Why waste a good Tortilla!
Were they corn or flour?
Make a taco filling with a can of white meat chicken and mango salsa. Mmm gud ... I use Newman’s Own.
Weird. It’s as if they don’t know everyone eats tortillas.
Maybe they weren’t tortillas.
Maybe they were white yarmulkes ... with holes in them (friggin’ Nazis!)
"Tortillas Were Thrown At A Basketball Game, Prompting Calls To End Racism. The Truth Has Been Ignored."
Jimminy krissmus, a news story headline with two -- count 'em -- two passive tense verbs in it.
József Pulitzer must be spinning in his grave.
