Indians as Mascots for America's Fun and Games

Excellent points. The 'fighting words' concept is powerful, but it will need to be applied to the word "Indian" itself - the key falsehood that underpins all the other words; validating and institutio­nalizing the concept of derision.



This was a very good article by Tim Giago, but when he says that the poisonous words that "rang across America for more than 500 years are now passé", I hate knowing that he's wrong - a re-coarsen­ing of the public fabric is well underway in post-progr­essive America.
