1. In the article "Crimes against Humanity", I would argue that the Indian mascots are honoring Native American Indians rather than being discriminatory.
2. What gives one the right to write about something or someone when they themselves are not part of that culture. I would mention how Sherman Alexie writes about his culture and how Wendy Rose wrote "Truganinny", which was about a culture she was not apart of.
3. The stereotypes of Indians. Everyone thinks they are warriors, environmentalists, and like the famous character Tonto in "The Loan Ranger". However, Sherman Alexie mentions these ideas are false in his interview in the "Iowa Review" and in his movie "Smoke Signals". (I don't know if this idea has anything to argue about though. Plus, I feel like stereotypes have been already done too many times)
I'll pick which one I want to write about soon! These works and ideas that I mentioned are just the ones that have interested me in class. That's why I would want to write about it. I'm thinking I might lean more towards topic number 1.
i would go with topic one cus that one interested me too in class
