Crime Against Humanity
This was an interesting article we had to read. Before English 102, I never really thought about the Indian names that our society uses, like names of sports teams, war paint, etc. Now, that I am learning more about Indian culture and after reading this article, I realize that it is not right. Just because this minority group is small, does not mean that it is okay to use these titles and such. I liked how this article related it to Jews, African Americans, and Hispanics. It showed how it's no different than relating these titles and depictions to these other larger ethnic groups. I am Jewish, so I can easily relate to what this article was talking about. I would find it offensive too. I do not see what's the difference is here. We should take into consideration all ethnic groups, and we should be respectful of their culture.
