there’s a local uproar out here about a sheik
not really an
uproar, just some arab group sent a letter to
the way their mascot - a sheik looked and how
it
negatively reflected on arabs in general
fine, thanks for sharing
that’s all that should of happened, but
it was
written about in the desert sun and blogged about
by some locals and discussed
in the social media on facebook, etc
let’s go no farther - nothing more needs to be said about
this subject
where, on the other hand, i’m deeply concerned and can’t
hold in
any more my disdain for the portrayal of
italian-americans by the video gamer mario
nothing says racism and intolerance more than this bigoted
rendering of an obvious caricature of a typified immigrant Italian
this disgusting betrayal of this portrayal
was probably designed by a 5th grader while eating dominos
there’s no mistake - i for one think that it’s an outrage
to portray my heritage in this manner
i just hope the national press picks-up on this and wastes
our time like so many other
stupid news stories nowadays
like say…
the-still-won't-go-away 'news story' about
some big, mean, grown man NFL
player
bullying his big, mean, grown man teammate
i think they might be redskins, no that would be inappropriate
