Yeesh, some people like to try and find a way to start trouble no matter what. Some people will watch something no matter how pathetic it may be and try and turn it into a racist movement or the attempt to show that there is one when there never was.
No racism shown in the movie, just people booing a competitor, big deal.

BTW, I've seen far worse said about Mexicans on THIS board than a some booing. Funny we went from a booing audience to equating it with "illegals".

By your logic, I should be able to boo black people all the time then right, without being called a racist?

Um, the last time I looked Blacks were a race, not a country, which is what the Mexican's were booing. Racism is NOT the issue.
Edit to add: Booing Mexicans might be considered racist though and I see that quite frequently here.
