The man who brought tortillas to the Saturday night Coronado High School basketball game against Escondido’s Orange Glen High issued a public apology Thursday, saying he realizes the act of throwing tortillas has been perceived as racially insensitive.
Luke Serna, who says he is half-Mexican and a registered Democrat, on Wednesday said he gave bags of tortillas to Coronado students. During an altercation following the game, some Coronado players threw tortillas in the air toward the Orange Glen team, which is mostly Latino.
