This is a serious and amusing post; here let me steal the very nicely tasty jelly filling:
That’s why I’m proposing that this very serious disease be renamed ‘Spring Breaker flu,’ after the lazy, amoral, disease-ridden rich white kids who have breached our borders time and again, destroying our economy with their unsustainable leech-like lifestyles, and now, robbing us of our health. The spread of swine flu – sorry, Spring Breaker flu – can be indisputably linked to Americans returning from vacations in Mexico (1, 2, 3). And it is Americans who can afford to take vacations who deserve the blame.

I like to say there is always one group your allowed to make fun of, teenagers. I might be mistaken, it could be we are now allowed to make fun of the rich again. Which would mean that rich teenagers is a two for one deal.
A note: Spring Breaker flu is not the same as being rich and white; the difference is that rich-white-ness doesn’t spread. Prolonged exposure to rich-white-ness leaves communities proportionally less rich, and their citizens considered further from white. Being rich and white is believed to be hereditary.
