Stereotype of the Month Entry
(5/4/02)


Another Stereotype of the Month entry:

Ramirez's Indian mascot cartoon missed the mark badly for several reasons:

For Ramirez to imply we should take Indians' wishes into account is a pathetic joke. Not taking their wishes into account is the whole issue. If we did as he suggested, we wouldn't have conflicts over mascots—or mascots, period.

As usual, Ramirez has depicted a bald-faced lie and passed it off as the truth.
