This past week the activist group, Deport Racism, released a video containing Latino children yelling "F*** you" at Donald Trump and calling him a "D***" for his immigration policies. The shocking video can be seen below.
Warning: video contains strong language.

The video begins with two adorable children named Ricardo and Rosa who have a not so adorable message. “Hola, Donald Trump," he shouts. ‘Get out of my country, Republicans use offensive words.” Rosa chimes in with, “So here’s a few of our own.”
The kids then proceed to to shout obscene curse words as they criticize Trump's immigration policies. Throwing the bird and yelling, ”F*** you, racist f***,” at the camera the children do not hide their feelings, or more likely the person behind the camera's feelings, towards Trump.
Trump infuriated many Latinos earlier this summer with the following statement, “When Mexico sends people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems . . . They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
The video has sparked both criticism and praise on social media. One twitter user conveys his disdain fro the video while reminding us the reason that the video exists.
Still others find the video offensive.
There is no doubt that racism is unfortunately still an issue in America, and Trumps statement was without a doubt offensive. However, Deport Racism's video is disturbing. While it is important for activist groups to speak out against policies, issues, and candidates they find fault in, exploiting children for the sake of a political statement crosses some sort of moral line.
