If there were centuries of oppression of white people based on their race

including them being forced into slavery, yes I think it would be a problem to have a nickname based on race for a white person. However, given the fact that whites haven't been oppressed, I don't see a problem. We can't just erase history when looking at these circumstances.

Would it be better if they chanted "You Suck" or "Not you sport," I've heard

For simply chanting basketball?

What does being a minority have to do with it?
