But you would have to ask "why are they chanting USA"? They are not playing in a International Tournament nor a International Team. While I agree it is petty, but I am pretty sure that it being Texas and so close to the border that we can ALL deduce the racist undertones of such a chant in this situation.

If chanting usa is racist then rolling around with the mexican flag is racist.

Which it isnt, and neither is chanting usa to anybody.

Sounds like some typical liberal pussy BS to me, we are all immigrants and came to America now we are AMERICANS, you don't have to forget your language, customs, culture but at least show some pride in the US. Everyone wants to sport their Mexican flag and their Italy sweatsuit while bitching about the very country that gives them every opportunity to prosper. Telling some kids in TEXAS they have to feel bad and apologize for yelling USA is garbage undertones or not!

Remember the soccer game in LA a few years ago where people were chanting Mexico and the awards ceremony was performed in Spanish, was that racist?

Say what you will, but context is everything. I am not gonna argue about it, because it is not worth it. But we can all but deduce what the students intentions were. Plain and simple. So subtract the context. And I fully agree with you and everyone on this post.

The other team was calling them the Alamo Whites..... I'd say they are just as guilty at trash talking..... Btw it's a fucking game!!! Kids talk shit while playing sports. You can do some mental damage if you can get it your opponents head.

This past week was also the 176th anniversary of the Battle of the Alamo so I'm sure there was tension all around.

The other team screaming "Alamo Whites", classic , notice again how the article wasn't about making them apologize and feel guilty.

Man I'm all for Cinco de Mayo, I love tequila, tacos and latina tang, but could you imagine any other country having a day dedicated to another nation?

Not many countries were built on the backs of other nations and nationalities like this one.

I am from San Antonio, I can't believe it, for saying USA? But I can believe people were getting upset about saying Alamo Whites. Alamo Heights area is mostly hated for being the wealthy part of San Antonio and is mostly white. But San Antonio is mostly Mexican and the best Mexican food I have ever tasted. I was hoping by now San Antonio racial tensions would by better, that's the main reason my mom and I left. Being half white and Mexican as kid in San Antonio was crazy. How did you end up in San Antonio? What you think about those one way turnarounds? Those roads that don't make no sense on the older part of town were actually paved over cow trails.

Saying "Alamo Whites" is Racist
Chanting USA isn't.
The other team needs to apologize for bring up someones race during a soccer game.
The USA isn't a race, its a country.

Posted by N8 (Member # 6048) on :
 
I agree saying "Alamo Whites" is racist. There is also this line in the story.

"while that claim was reported by one San Antonio Express-News columnist it has not been substantiated by other sources (though it has also been perpetuated by Alamo Heights supporters online, which doesn't necessarily speak to its veracity or lack thereof)."

So like I said context is everything.

dont stop there..... the AMERICAN flag highly offends me, and im going to sue everyone flying it. it does have ANY colors of my ancestors who helped build it. my genes hail from ireland, scotland and germany

and im a vegetarian too, so im going to sue california for having a bear disrespected on the cali flag. in fact it looks like he is being escorted to a butcher shop against his will

and there is a communist star too, the chinese just helped build the railroads, why not a shamrock ? or a keilbasa ???

THIS IS BULL SHIT !!!! that game should have been commentated in spanish first of all, and then the crowd could have chanted

" Estados Unidos de América, Estados Unidos de América, Estados Unidos de América"

then it wouldnt be racist

stupid texans
