How do Nebraskan's feel about immigration?

My 7 year old son Sabian, who, like Tiger Woods, is Asian, White, Black and Hispanic. He has been playing outside a lot so his skin a beautiful brown (wish I could tan that well). Anyhoo, I took him to Walmart (should have known better than to go the devil's store) to get some water toys. I told him and his brother to pick out what they wanted, and I went to get his swimming trunks. I came back and Sabian had a sad look on his face.

Me: What's wrong
Sabian: That guy was mean to me
Me: What guy?
Sabian: The guy with the red shirt
(I look around, guy in red shirt no longer there)
Me: What did he say to you?
Sabian: He said "get out of here you little immigrant"

Stunned, I went looking for 30 minutes throughout Walmart for this prick bastard and couldn't find him. I was going to verbally berate him until he cried, and then I was going to have my Panamanian husband curse him out in Spanish just to further punish him...but alas, didn't get the chance to. With all the uproar over the immigration thing, my utter disdain for the way the government has been treating the issue, I never once discussed it with my kids. I had to explain to my 7 year old why the guy said it. He said: Is it because Daddy can speak Spanish. You know, for a cocksucker like that guy to make it so derrogatory to my child really pissed me off. My son said he wasn't an older guy, he was a teenager, so I'm sure his head is filled with crap from his parents. From what I hear about people who live here, it's the norm to think so negatively towards Hispanic people...the irony of it all, my son was born here in Nebraska...I need to frickin' move!
