And I never thought I'd see a USA chant used to vilify another group of Americans and have people like you justify it.

Yea, I think my school was pretty offensive. I'm from Celina (ring a bell?) and once a year we would play Lima Senior. Being from a rural town every time they came to town it could get a little sketchy at times |

I'm from Spencerville (or Spencer-tucky as we were often chanted at) so I know Celina very well. It was LCC students that used to sing "Old MacDonald" at us. It was so much fun, it's a great area for high school sports. |

I saw this conversation on FOX News last night. If fucking Dana Perino agrees that the chant was out of bounds in this context, I don't really understand the tonedeafness of folks who think this wasn't inappropriate.

It was the use of USA chant essentially against a bunch of American Citizens. These fans weren't cheering about America, they were Cheering that a bunch of kids of Mexican descent lost a game to an "American" team. Which was not comprised of players of Mexican descent. It can't be spelled out any more clearly than that. I'm about as against all things politically correct as you can get, but this isn't part of that fight. |

This was on Fox News earlier today, with the very same headline used to start this thread. I'm sure the intent there was pretty clear.

The people who comment on Yahoo threads are most likely cunt trolls who love to spew hate under various aliases. Something about anonymity that brings out the evil from people's souls.

Nothing more American than trying to denigrate your neighbors for their racial ancestry! Amirite??!! Oh wait, is that what they were doing? No, that's just shitty.

The rabid patriotism of Alamo Heights fan base wasn't enough to get them to the state championship game. They fell in the semifinals to Dallas Kimball, 47-43.

I'm really starting to get attached to this thread. It certainly punches above it's weight comedy wise.

Five*from USM pep band disciplined - NCAA Basketball - SI.com
Btw, a more explicit example here - where's your "green card"? Really? Props to USM for acting on it. Its one of the reasons that this stuff is completely beyond the pale here, yet a little too common in Europe in soccer stadiums for example. |

There was another incident of "innocent" racism at a basketball game in Texas. Here is Dale Hansen's, a longtime sports anchor in DFW, response.

But in the end, Caine just wasn't Abel.

That was absolutely fantastic. It came from a place of complete wisdom and experience. I will bookmark it.

Can't believe this has gone 10 posts without a response along the lines of "If Bill O'Reilly can get in trouble, why isn't this guy fired for saying there's a stereotype of white people from Texas being racist and ignorant? Goes both ways."
