Anglo students in California had a South of the Border theme party. They dressed up as janitors, gardeners, maids, pregnant girls and gangbangers. This is what they think Mexican Americans are.
They have no respect for us. This is so wrong.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - A “South of the Border” theme party has stirred outrage at a Silicon Valley university after students showed up dressed as Hispanic janitors, gardeners, gangbangers and pregnant teens.
Photographs from the private, off-campus party organized by Santa Clara University students in late January appeared on the Internet soon afterward, prompting an outcry on campus.
One image shows a partygoer with a balloon stuffed under her shirt, making her appear pregnant. In another, a woman wears pink rubber cleaning gloves and carries a feather duster.“A lot of people have the idea that Mexicans or Latin Americans are all like that, and that’s wrong,” said Nadine Rasch, 18, a finance major from Guatemala, who did not attend the party.
