It started as an inside joke -- good-natured racial banter in the privacy of the locker room between a black assistant coach and a group of white players on the USC football team. They were members of an aggressive special teams unit. He called them the "White Nation." However, when it ended up on an Internet site, it struck outsiders as shockingly racist. On Thursday, USC officials and students scrambled to apologize, explain and contain a potential public relations embarrassment.
