HOW BIGOTED CAN YOU GET?

there’s a local uproar out here about a sheik
 
not really an uproar, just some arab group sent a letter to
 
coachella high school telling them that they didn’t like
 
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
