“Fiesta San Antonio” which began as a single event to honor the memory of the battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto, is now being criticized by some students at UTSA that say the city's party has racist roots. It is the latest effort by local liberals and leftists in San Antonio to revise Texas history.
The students Luke Valdes, president of the Mexican American Studies Student Organization (MASSO) says "After Texas independence, many people were celebrating it as a celebration of white supremacy, dominance, colonization of Mexico of Tejas. As far as slavery, imperialism, fascism, manifest destiny, white supremacy, colonization.”
Mexico City native Dennise Frausto says the ten-day festival is a slap in the face because it uses Mexican culture to celebrate the defeat of Mexico. She also says she never participate in the celebration.
Liberal and leftist professors and scholars preach that Texas is the result of American racist expansion that victimized “3rd world natives and people of color”. These UTSA students agree, and like China’s young Red Guard in the 1960s, they want to “expose the truth.” Of course, the local liberal media gave them a public forum.
