So...You Come Here Often?

|

Hey, how are you?" "Good, how are you?" "Fine thanks ... So what classes are you taking?" "So ... did you have a good weekend?" "So ... did you rush anywhere?" "So ... when are we gonna hang out?" "Why don't I ever see you?" "We should get lunch sometime." "Yeah, blitz me, and we'll do that." Does this sound familiar to you?

Don King's Remarks Demonstrated Insensitivity to Native Americans

|

To the Editor: I just wanted to express some of the concerns that myself and other Native Americans were discussing after the Don King lecture. Basically, we were totally shocked beyond belief and felt like walking out. It was obvious to me and other Native Americans at Dartmouth that King's remarks regarding native peoples were very stereotypical, one-sided and a "folly" at best.

As observers point to the increasing disparity between rich and poor, between the lives of the hopeful and of the hopeless, those of us in higher education should wonder whether we contribute to the problem.
