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.
