Racial incident mars high school game

SAN ANTONIO - A local school district is apologizing after an apparent incident of racism at a boys high school basketball game this past weekend.

When the final whistle blew Saturday, Alamo Heights celebrated a convincing victory over San Antonio Edison.

Alamo Heights Head Coach Andrew Brewer said he was proud of his team. But it was just after the trophy presentation when the coach was not proud of the chant coming from Alamo Heights fans.

"USA, USA, USA," they chanted.

San Antonio Independent School District officials took the chant as a racial insult to a school with all minority players from a school with mostly white ones.

Alamo Heights has apologized to SAISD and the students identified will also have to apologize and have been banned from the state title games.

"We think that you have to earn a right to be there and that's not a reflection of our school district," Brown said.

Both districts are now just trying to move past this disturbing incident.

Since when did "American" become a race?

No. This is not from the Onion.

There's already a thread on this.

What ws the intention of chanting USA USA?

Were not both schools AMERICAN?

Of course they were.

So pretending that there wasn't a White American V Mexican American element to it makes you look like an idiot, doesnt it?

 

[Unkotare]

Are you trying to say Mexican-Americans are not Americans?

Sounds like it. And if those other students were American, why would they be offended?

It might have been rude. But anyone who has ever been to a high school game knows that teens can be rude. Hardly "disturbing" or newsworthy. Good Lord. Where do they find these "journalists"?
