The other night, 10-year-old Sebastien De La Cruz sang the national anthem beautifully. His appearance in a mariachi costume sparked a torrent of racist tweets, which Sebastien ignored

For his part, De La Cruz seems to be unfazed by the whole thing. From an interview with ABC affiliate KTRK Houston:

"I think the people were talking bad because of what I was wearing and it's not my fault." Sebastien said. "It's what I love and I'm just proud to be a mariachi singer. It's their opinion actually and if they don't like mariachi, that's their problem. I love it."
