Due to the entertainment/music they see/hear everyday.<br />To cite a perfect example of racist bigotry regarding the "older" generations. Look to the majority and legistlature make up of Arizona. Neo-Nazi associator Russell Pearce, brown basher Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Jan Brewer, John McCain. I can't name anyother place that has become more ridiculous than AZ. They are all old and wanting to remain in the heydays of yesteryears. John McCain is quite the only politico who is rational at most times(besides Jon Kyle). The vast majority of voters who voted for these old coots are generally old themselves. "Natavists" as they call them are usually 45plus and older. There are numerous videos/pics indicating this. I know I'm off topic a bit, but the analogy fits the mindset of who we deal with on a daily basis in AZ. Individuals who refused to accept "change" and you can see this by the laws they create. And it tell me that we still have much work in eliminating racial stereotypes on Natives or otherwise. Even if they are not old as Ke$ha is, or wholly ignorants like the gay man defending "Cultural Commons". And Rob has a point. Would the "pansy" gay man feel offended if I call him an AIDS Carrying Sodomite??? I'm sure he would say yes. ANd thats why it is not okay to racial stereotype Nativs.<br /><br />~GENO~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
