First off really? I can't even take pride in my country anymore without being racist!? I do not think that is what the founding fathers had in mind when they where dying to give us our rights. I could understand someone arguing the chant to maybe be derogatory or maybe intimidating... maybe but racist? I am not so sure. America was founded by Englishmen yes but then it was largely populated by people from all over the world. We are made up of such a diverse varying amounts of cultures to to form this country to say that only one race is yelling at another simply makes me laugh.
On a 2nd thought we are all so worried about offending each other now in this politically correct world we no long know how deal with our emotions. Part of growing up is hearing your parents tell you no and hearing people express views that are different than yours. We are not doing ours kids any favors by teaching them to be so intolerant or disobedient to one and other.
To get back on track I am not sure this was a case of racism as much as you could have called it intimidation but I think that is even a stretch. People need to find them selfs a hobby because all this politically correct lets makes the rules up as we go along stuff is getting way out of control
Don't go blowing things out of proportion, you can take pride in being American. The context is what's at issue here, and the context was not one that you would typically here "USA" chanting; why not chant their school name, or their mascott? Because there were other motives to their chanting "USA."
Let's get something straight here: Spain sent some individuals out to sea, and they landed ashore on the North American continent where there were Native Americans. So, Caucasian people came ashore, slaughtered the Native Americans, and brought a bunch of other Caucasian people, and some African slaves over to occupy this Land.
