Ah they are in the band. Jokes on them, most of their degrees will only guarantee them jobs at the local Rite Aid...if they aren't turned down by McDonalds first.

Last time I checked, which was recently since my son will more than likely be in the band when he goes to college, most of the members in the marching band aren't music majors. So, I guess the joke's on you.
Anyway, about the chant, what a bunch of idiots.

Devildog, my bad man, my joke was also in poor taste. My sister in law was actually in the University OF Oklahoma's band, and she told me that the majority of the folks in UO's band were music majors in varying degrees of specialty instruments. Her emphasis was the clarinet. While she now works with the Detroit Symphony she says most of the people she was in school with did not land careers in music. Unless you go to a Juliard, or Burke Lee, or one of those top dogs landing your dream gig is next to impossible.To many schools pumping out to many music majors, much the same as to many law schools pumping out lawyers. Where do all of them go?
Long story short, I was under the impression most of the folks in the band were music majors, and many of them wouldn't be able to get a job in their field. So joke was on them.

It's cool. That was my fake outrage for the day.

As a Puerto Rican, I'm not really offended because even if somebody did have/need a green card, what shame is there in that? Certainly nothing to be embarrassed about or that they would need to apologize for. But I think those kids belongs on one of Jay Leno's "Jaywalking" segments. Admittedly, it's been a while since I've watched, but I seem to remember him walking around and asking people simple questions about history, current events, etc., and the people by way of their answers showing just how stupid a vast segment of this population is. Yeah, those kids would fit right in.
not just like Mississippi. Mississippi is home to Americans, not a bunch of Mexicans like Purto Rico
