This is a chilling exam...That story was mortifying. This is a chilling example of the racism that surrounds us, even in 2009. Amazing. I would like to know your thoughts on stereotypes and how they play out beyond racism, or even with racism, because as I see it, racism and stereotyping are very different things (though one can certainly lead to the other).comm 2010https://www.blogger.com/profile/12873042618358813757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001800764150208162.post-66897849347664769432009-01-16T10:55:00.000-08:002009-01-16T10:55:00.000-08:00That is a really sad and frustrating story.

Very distressing considering the school those fans represented. <BR/><BR/>As far as the 'Obama broke down many barriers' statement... I slightly disagree. I think I get what you are saying, but what I think is really happening is that 'we' are starting to break down our own barriers. Maybe that's a subtle difference. I'm just trying to say that the exciting thing is that Obama wasn't elected by himself. There was a majority of the nation who voted for him. And, I will also add- there are people even among those who didn't vote for him who are proud to have him as their president. (Myself included.)<BR/><BR/>Obviously your story illustrates a need to keep working at this problem, but I think there is still hope for our society.Jaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090508777567250838noreply@blogger.com
