media accused of being timid about attacking racism
After having read last weeks articles on ethnic awareness in journalism, I found an interesting article in the Huffington post by Tim Giago accusing the mainstream media of being timid about attacking racism against asians, native americans and mexicans. Giago argued that racism against blacks and jews has powerful lobbyists to defend them. Giago believed that in mainstream media native americans, mexicans and asians dont count as much as jews. He thought the word "redskin" which is thrown around freely especially in sports news (the football team) was rude and offensive to native americans. I have not seen this kind of anger and I felt it interesting, is this kind of racism different from any other? Are other minorities really more powerful at protecting themselves against racism?http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tim-giago/why-is-the-use-of-the-r_b_35496
