USA is very diverse. So i doubt they were meaning Racism.
If i was chanting USA USA USA at a (bunch of Mexicans) notice the implied meaning , i am not meaning they are lower / lesser human being than me , i am meaning their country sucks and America is the best , i really dont see how you get Racism from screaming USA.
By me saying a "Bunch of Mexicans" are you taking that as Racism or Nationality?edit on 8-3-2012 by milkyway12 because: (no reason given)
IMO, everyone of you are as guilty of racism as the children in question! When you speak of a human or group of humans, do you refer to them as Caucasion humans or Mexican humans? By placing an adjective describing the American before hand, you too are separating two people of the same nation, Americans! Do you not see this?

Actually, cutting all the crap, what would America be where white is the minority. It wouldn't be America anymore. Might as well rename it.
Same goes for Europe. Especially for Europe.
To someone from outside USA... its so blatant obvious the implied reason to the shouting.
Yay for cognitive dissonance

It’s a thing called PRIDE and isn’t meant to be divisive.
Anyone outside US... thing you are just a bunch of americans. We really don't give a damn about the first part (hispanic/afro/italian/etc) when we are referring you as country's population.

if they were intentionally chanting it at a bunch of Hispanics, then it was intentionally...... racist.
It is never the words; it is always the intent behind the words.
Ok for the people too lazy to read the whole thread here is the rundown, that the moron who made the OP article conveniently left out. Other team and fans were being overtly racist, chanting about the whiteys on the other team.
