Stereotypes and Sport Team Names • Are college and professional teams who use mascots patterned after American Indians “honoring” American Indians? • Webster’s dictionary defines term Redskin: “American Indian usually taken to be offensive” • Should the Washington pro NFL team change their name as many other college teams and professional teams have done recently?

  4. Color Blind Racism • A term Coined by modern race scholar Eduardo Bonilla Silva • Refers to the use of race neutral principles to defend the racially unequal status quo • Assuming we live in a color blind society perpetuates inequality • In public debates on social issues, race is rarely spoken of explicitly-Instead people use social class , citizenship, or criminal labels to substitute for race • People will use race neutral terms while supporting policies that are potentially racist or treat groups unequally • “I’m not racist, it’s just that black people commit more crime so it’s ok to make streets safer by racially profiling” • It’s not that I’m Islamophobic, I just think Arab Americans should be frisked before getting on a plane” • “No, I have a lot of Mexican friends. I just think they should be a citizen to get their education here”. • O’Reilly Video

  7. If you feel you are treated unequally by people, if you have been a victim of racial profiling, if you have suffered from forms of discrimination, can this cause self hate? Low self esteem? Negative self-fulfilling prophecies? • Relates to internalized homophobia and high rates of attempted suicide of gay teens • Many scholars are interested in the affect of prejudice and discrimination on one’s identity, self esteem, and quality of life? • Racial Profiling video
