Do Asians appreciate being described as “ yellow “ ?
And Native Americans as “ red men “ ?
St John’s University came under pressure and changed their nick from Redmen to Red Storm out of respect for Native Americans .
It was likewise jarring to hear white people dissed as part of Obama’s official Inaugural ceremony.
Sadly enough, some of the people I was surrounded by were ignorant as to what “red men” referred to- I had to explain to them.
