SCALPED fans can't tell the difference

An excellent commentary from an educator whose students have asked him about SCALPED, the Indian crime comic book by Jason Aaron:[T]he very fact that my students are asking me "is this real or is this stereotype" demonstrates the fact that not only is a portion of Jason's audience accepting his work as an "authentic depiction" but also that despite Jason's confidence in them, they lack the information to be able to tell the difference.
