During a trip to Epcot at Disneyworld, Pennsylvania delegate Mark Harris and his wife were shocked and offended to find a Mexican employee working at the amusement park’s American pavilion, which showcases the different cultures in the United States. According to the couple’s blog, Harris complained to staff that he was “highly offended” that a “person from Mexico” was working in the American pavilion when other nations’ pavilions were staffed by people from each respective country:

2. I almost considered that it could be a troll posing as a right-winger.

But then I realized, very few things done by right-wingers these days surprise me and I have little doubt one of them would actually do this.

3. You are in FLORIDA, Republicans

There are a LOT of "brown people" in Florida from all different countries. Even "your" Republican Florida Senator has brown parents from Cuba. Hello? This isn't Germany in the 1940's.

4. Imagine that, a person of Mexican decent working in an American pavilion.

Does he not realize a very large part of the Western United States used to be part of Mexico and all the Mexican Nationals living there became American citizens when we took it over? And even now, it is not unusual for them to have English as a second language, or at least a Spanish accent.

What part of "America is a Melting Pot" did he not learn in school? He is obviously missing much more than just this.

5. Why sure, there are no hispanic Americans. So much for the GOP not being racists.

6. He was also pissed to find out Donald wasn't being played by a real duck.

What an idiot.

7. AMERICA includes Mexico, the US and Canada...
