This reader comment there expresses the opinion of a Texan who sees more of these tensions than we do, here.

So, let me get this straight. The Hispanic students from Edison taunted the predominantly white Alamo Heights team by chanting “Alamo Whites, Alamo Whites…,” and the Alamo Heights students responded by chanting “USA, USA…,” but it was the Alamo Heights Principal who apologized because the “USA” chant was deemed to be racist? UNBELIEVABLE! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY?!?"
I had not heard this part before.
