Of course it's racist, in that context. Chanting 'USA!' because your team's opponents are Hispanic (American citizens, but nonwhite)? The chant's obvious implication was "We belong here, you don't." Which is terrible.

Surely high school students at a sporting event wouldn't have baser reasons than displaying a jolly and patriotic disposition towards this great country.

I don't it that way at all. It's certainly pro-American, but I don't see the racism.

What? They weren't chanting, "COME MOW MY LAWN!" or something like that that would certainly be derogatory.

Hold on. Why would a simple request offering reasonable employment to a high school student, who probably needs the money, be derogatory? A lot of high school students are looking for lawn mowing jobs /patteeu

Why did the coach put a stop to it real quick then if they were just showing love of country?

I would imagine so as not to anger whatever anti-Americans were in the area.

FWIW, I think the coach of the white USA team did a good job by standing up and telling his kids to stop though, since it could be taken the wrong way by the hispanic USA team.
