As a black student who attended servite high school until I graduated there are several things I would like to clarify about a few remarks made by people on this blog especially Crispybruin. The reason why you were the target of being made fun of was not because of the color of your skin but probably because you are just a loser, I was a black athlete with good but not great grades that seemed to get along with everyone at school, so you must be suiffering from some sort of anti-social problem where you cannot make friends and because of this are made fun of fo being so awkward. In fact in my experiences the white students at Servite are more censored about even throwing racial jokes around when minority students are around, so to you crispybruin I say yu are a loser and are bitter that you do not have the high school friends that are there for you years after Servite like the rest of us graduates that have the support you wish you had, get over it!!!!

Now onto turs12 comment, how can you say that Servite is not the most ethnically diverse school??? If you are referring to the black population then yes, you are right there were only 5 of us in my class; however check this out, Servite is almost evenly divided between whites, asians, and latinos now as far as percentage…. if you want to make an argument then yes there is little diversity, it is a school for the priveleged or those that get financial aid to attend… However, you are correct in saying that racism isn’t rampant on campus. In my 4 years at Servite there was only one real racial incident and that was a group of losers calling several students of middle eastern decent racial names on 9/11…. Now not only did the school deal with them but they became the targets of many white, black, asian, and latino students for making those statements to people that in no way could have a connection to the events of 9/11.

Finally, I just want to say that Mater Dei students are little wimps about things said in such an intense rivalry… When I played sports against mater dei I was called an Uncle Tom or Boy by MD students, but you never heard me make a big deal about it… and if we are on the subject of racism what about prejudice??? yes the Servite Pit Crew may cross the line with some of their chants but what is it really? One of the biggest and most spirited student groups in all of so cal hs sports? I think so, and its at one of the smallest schools in the county so I would try and find a way tp shut it down as well… and what about Mater Dei’s 2, 4, 6, 9 who’s the homo on the line chant? What if one of those basketball players on the free throw line is in fact gay is that not a prejudice action b Mater Dei? and that chant is not only encouraged but I have seen parents participate in it during a basketball game! so coach palafox, it may wierd for you to understand what having strong school support at your athletic events but the trinity/sierra league is in fact on its own level of competition not just the athletes but their supporters as well!!!!

Get over it!
