Sebastien De La Cruz of America’s Got Talent fame was asked to sing the National Anthem at game three of the NBA Finals on Tuesday night, however there was quite the backlash on twitter which is nothing less than upsetting.

Many tweeted asking why a Mexican-American was singing the National Anthem, others jumped to his defence.

Pretty disturbing considering this is a very young child.
