They care because of the intent behind the action. The intent is to insult and belittle them and their heritage on the one day in America that they celebrate their heritage.
On Cinco de Mayo in 2009, a year before the events relevant to this appeal, there was an altercation on campus between a group of predominantly Caucasian students and a group of Mexican students.
The groups exchanged profanities and threats...one Mexican student shouted “f*** them white boys, f*** them white boys.”
[T]he student said, “But Rodriguez, they are racist. They are being racist. F*** them white boys. Let’s f*** them up.” Rodriguez removed the student from the area.
So, the correct way to address the problem is to allow mob rule instead of addressing the actual issue which has nothing to do with what flag everyone is wearing on what day?

That's the best you got? Mexican food sucks. If I never ate a taco, burrito, enchilada, etc( they all taste the same) it would be too soon.
Again, that doesn't address the problem and allows the aggressors to get away with it. What happens when they decide they just plain don't like white kids at their school?

Or another issue is that in CA, we're now treating the American flag like the Confederate one.

You must be from the north where they don't know how to cook Mexican food. In the southern part of the U.S., Mexican food rules!!!
