And of course they teach that everyone who founded America was a racist and everything else, and they should have stayed living under oppression in Europe.

This is a Japanese group called "Da Pump" and their song "U.S.A.". It's quite a big hit here in Japan too. It's in Japanese but I'm sure you can understand the bits of English intermixed as well.
DA PUMP / U.S.A.
