[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2106809, member: 229"] You're missing my point. The 40% of Hispanic members of the student body weren't being called out (or pointed at) as they were on the home-team's side and the other team WAS from the USA. They were shouting USA at the other team (who were largely hispanic-Americans who were from... the USA). Also, I have to point out that we don't actually know that none of the Hispanic members of the Camarillo student body have complained. I'm not saying that shouting "USA" is racist or offensive, but context does change things. Let's say you're at the funeral of a family member who died in the line of duty while serving in the Armed forces. If some Hispanic Americans showed up and shouted "USA USA" while pointing at the casket, I'm guessing your first reaction won't be to shout along with them. Like I said, I think everyone involved blew things out of proportion though. [/QUOTE]
