Sarcastic slow clap for classy sportsmanship. In Sacramento, parents and students are speaking out after a large crowd of fans chanted racial slurs at players during a recent high school girls basketball game.
Parents Say Racial Taunts Mar Sacramento High School Girls Basketball Game
During a game last month between McClatchy High School and Oak Ridge High School in El Dorado Hills, witnesses say that Oak Ridge fans chanted racial slurs at McClatchy's Asian American players. Glen Kumamoto, whose daughter plays for McClatchy, says that Oak Ridge fans were yelling offensive comments about the girls' weight and appearance, as well as references to "soy sauce" and "little eyes."
"A lot of our girls on our team are of Asian descent. So I started to hear chants like 'soy sauce' 'go back to Fiji,' gestures about small eyes things like that," Kumamoto told KCRA News.
