Like, if you go to this park, this is the only sign that's translated into Spanish. It basically reads, "Fuck you brown people go home."

And at the professional level, brown girls are basically told the same thing. Just ask Teresa Noyola.

Noyola is an excellent player—but got told to go back to Mexico instead of play for Team USA: http://espn.go.com/espnw/news-commentary/2015worldcup/article/12962975/dual-citizens-help-comprise-mexico-women-world-cup-roster …pic.twitter.com/wq8h94pGhL

Oh, you're such a good player, but yeah, just go to Mexico. Ridiculous.
