This is kind of an interesting “racist” story on a Friday. Popcorn please. No tacos thank you.

I'd call nuclear war with China a "disturbing moment" but I guess its all perspective.

To a hammer, everything looks like a nail. To a woke fool, everything looks racist.

Throwing tortillas at a high school basketball game = outrage.

Throwing an egg in a gorilla mask at a black man = silence.

That's California for you.

So a creepy Hispanic guy created a fake racist incident.

We’ve got environmental nuts burning down California.

Weekly fake black and Muslim events.

Supply is not meeting demand!

This also happened at a game in Norway.

Further investigation revealed it was just some Norwegians making lefse.

… tortillas sparked the outrage.

Only the stupid left could be “outraged” by a couple of tortillas. 🙄

The most egregious thing here is wasting tortillas. They’re delicious.

Every member of that school board should be whipped to the town border and then notified if they ever stepped foot inside again it’d get real painful for them.

So Luke Serna is a political activist who brought the tortillas to the game, encouraged people to throw them, and then reported those people as racists.

Betcha that’s what happened.

There are 85,000 hungry Haitians in Mexico headed this way, who would have been glad to eat those tortillas that were wasted.

People have been throwing tortillas (and other disk-type things) on athletic fields for decades. Why is it only now considered racist?
