I see these quite often here in Maryland: cars with a rainbow colored bumper sticker with the words ‘De Colores’.
Now I understand that De Colores is a popular Spanish folk song but why put it on your car? I have never had the urge to put a *Pop Goes The Weasel *bumper sticker on the Floppymobile.
Maybe the rainbow is a gay inference? Are the people driving these vehicles gay Mexicans (not that there’s anything wrong with that)?
Just wondering!
“you’re a beaner towel!”
I’m pretty sure it’s a symbol of the Cursillo movement. Cursillo is a Catholic (originally, but other churches have adopted it) retreat program, where people go to renew their faith and explore their spirituality. Is this the bumper sticker you’re seeing?

Umm…ok. What’s South Park have to do with it?
Sort of. Without the fancy letter ‘C’.
The protestant version is called “The Walk to Emmaus”. The De Colores song is sung at the event.
What does De Colores mean? In my (admittedly bad) Spanish it looks like “of colors.” 
Yea, that’s what it means. There is a Mexican song, a bit sappy and glurgy, called “De Colores”. I don’t know if that is the same song used in the retreat, but the first line is “De colores se visten los campos en la primavera”, which means, roughly but not literally “In spring the fields are awash with colors”. And every other line starts with the phrase “de colores”, basically saying everything that has color, life, and beauty during spring.
Yeah, there is very little mystery to the phrase “de colores” it just means “in colors”, “of all colors” or something to that effect.
Not really knowing what the sticker is about, I would guess it has to do with diversity, and spanning gay rights, immigration rights, anti-racism, or all other kinds of segregation.
De Colores was the only thing I remember from high school Spanish class.
