An 11-year-old boy’s rendition of the national anthem at Game 3 of the 2013 NBA finals brought the usual appreciative applause Tuesday, but outside AT&T Center in San Antonio, his performance brought a darker reaction from some posters on social media — and eventually an online backlash against their racist comments.

A series of tweets from a variety of different users were sent out, most of which were outright racist. Since they were publicly shamed, a lot of them have deactivated their accounts of deleted their tweets.

As for Sebastien, he said the racist comments have not fazed him.

“For those that said something bad about me, I understand it’s your opinion,” said Sebastien to CNN. “I’m a proud American and live in a free country. It’s not hurting me. It’s just your opinion.”

Good for him.
