What is Racism? #5: Native American Mascots
The use of Native American names and images (e.g. the Washington Redskins, the Cleveland Indians, the Florida State Seminoles) has been a controversy for some years now. I have included material that will allow us to explore the issue.

SOCI 164: Multicultural Studies
What is Racism?
The purpose of the What is Racism? assignments is to explore that very question. What is racism? What does it look like?
Material over one issue or incident will be provided for you. You may use additional material if and only if it is related to the specific incident or issue involved in the assignment (e.g. additional reports of the incident, etc.).
The text of the assignment should cover several aspects of the incident.
1. What is your initial reaction to the incident? Is it racism, prejudice, or discrimination?
2. Take the perspective of the victim. What might this person be thinking and/or feeling? From this perspective, would this be racism, prejudice or discrimination?
3. Take the perspective of the perpetrator. What might this person be thinking and/or feeling? From this perspective, would this be racism, prejudice or discrimination?
4. What is your final conclusion? Was this incident racism, prejudice or discrimination?
Requirements:
1. Your submission should be 1-2 pages, single-spaced in Calibri, 11 pt. font. This is the default font for the most recent Microsoft Word.
2. You should use APA style as your referencing system, especially if you use external sources. You do not need to include an abstract. If you need assistance with either of these styles, you may seek help at the Academic Support Center or online at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/.
