I have to disagree. Hanamiya and his team were very much a "bad guy" team, as was Haizaki.
As mouthy as the US team was, in terms of on the court, I don't think they were any worse than the GoM in their last year at Teikou (particularly against Kuroko's friend). Off the court, it's just that one guy who expressed his racist opinions so far. If the author wanted to, he could probably find a way to soften his character or at least make him more relate-able to.
