Racism or Patriotism?: TX HS Team Chants “USA” After Win [VIDEO]
Is it patriotism or racism? High school students in Texas break out in “USA” chants following a win over a rival high school, and now it’s landed the school in hot water.
FOX’s Trace Gallagher has details:
Audio clip:
Alamo Heights is an all-White school, Edison, which is a mostly Hispanic school, they played for the regional basketball championship. And after the game, Alamo won, and the fans began chanting “USA! USA!” The head coach of the basketball team immediately went over and stopped the students because he thought it was inappropriate, but the superintendents of both schools thought it was racist.
(Superintendent) “The ‘USA’ chant, as I know it and as everyone else knows it, is very, very commonplace in international games and in the Olympics, not necessarily two high schools playing against one another.”
The students who chanted “USA,” including Hispanic students, are not allowed to go to the next basketball game, but now students reportedly say “wait a minute, it wasn’t just ‘USA!’ during that game, we have chanted ‘USA! USA!’ during many games.”
We just talked to a parent at Edison High School who says what they’re not including in the story is that Edison fans were also chanting “Alamo Whites! Alamo Whites!,” instead of “Alamo Heights!” We called the Superintendent, we asked for a comment, and here’s what he said – and I’m quoting: “It really doesn’t matter,” he says, “what others did or didn’t. We are responsible for our own actions.” He said, “we are no longer commenting, we and Edison High School both want to move on.”

Africa for the Africans,Asia for the Asians,white countries for EVERYBODY!
Mass immigration and "assimilation" forced on all white countries and ONLY white countries.
Genocide is genocide,it makes no difference if it is accomplished by bullets and mustard gas,or mass immigration and social engineering.
Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-white.

Just for record you are absolutely incorrect in your reporting that Alamo Heights is an all white school. In fact, according to their principal some of the schools Hispanic students were also chanting….get your facts straight no matter what your opinion is!!!!

The way I see it is if they are proud of their team and their country then what was wrong with it I mean they just won a championship game and was happy. And if it bothered the Mexican American team then they need to pack their bags and move back across the border where their parents were born. Chances are the only reason the other team is legal is because their mom snook across the border and had them here anyways

seems to me if the almost hispanic school heard the words USA, USA they would been wanting to chant them also. I get tired of hearing how the whites are racist from all the special interest groups here in America but when you question them about it its because we single them out. I see them sticking together but if they are truly American then they should be proud of where they are from and be more patrotic about it. Not condem everyone because we love America. Why do we have Africa-American, Hispanic American, Polish American, Italian American, German American, etc. Special Interest groups have torn our American hertiage apart. I'm a second Generation American but I don't run around saying I'm black, green, gray, red, white or blue…. I say I'm an American and proud of it. I'm not telling you to forget your heritage but lets get real here folks… You are born in America….. act like it and don't hide behind the politicians and special interest!!!!
