I believe that it is not right to racial profile anyone no matter than skin color.God put people on this Earth to be sucessful.That's unfair to the people and their families.

I think no one should look at any one diffrent everyone is equal. and no matter how poeple treat you every one should have have a chance to succed.
Also being raciest just because someone has a diffrent color skinn is not right we all live on the same earth breath the same air and have the same color blood.

I think that it is not right to racial profile poeple.i also think they are doing this to the Native American because no one is there to say something and because there is not a lot of Native American around. i also think everyone is equal and people should not act like they better than other people.also i think if u are being raciest it just holds you back from a back.

I believe that we should not racially profile another person because of their heritage... I ALSO THINK THAT WE SHOULD ALL BE TREATED EQUALLY..

These negative cultural symbols are similar to the negative ones in my ethnic group because many people see black man ass scary, angry, and abusive people. Just like the Native Americans; people always seem to describe them as redskins and people who always go around with flowers on their hat or people who are brave warriors. Another reason why their negative cultural symbols are similar to people in my ethnic group because people always think every black person loves fried chicken and wants to become a rapper or a basketball or even a football player. Just because you see things like this happen doesn't mean you can go around judging people because they are a certain race. I think everybody should be treated the same as for anybody else. We live in the 20th Century and racism still is hear and people just wont find a way to just get along. But there are a lot of similarities of negative cultural symbols in many ethnic groups.

These negative cultural symbols are similar to those in my ethnic community because there are so many stereoypes in this world. They dont even have to know you to say negative things and remarks about my ethnic group. Just like the example of the Indians being upset of people making fun of their culture white peole do it also to us. When ever they are trying to be funny they act like usblack people. Even white commedians do it. Why cant they act as them selves. Also white people see us as poor and being abused and stuff.Whenevr they see a black person with alot of money we have to be selling drugs or something. Why cant we have jobs like you all too. Why do we have to be different. We all alike , we are God's children. I just feel that no only whites but also blacks stop sterotyping others. Cant we all get along.

Using Native Americans as sighns isnt really racist. It depends on how they are used. If somone is making "fun" of them then it would be. Dressing them up like how the books said they look and how they look in movies is wrong. I dont think that anyone should use anyones culture as a sighn because they could be offended.

bro everybody can do the samething as anyone, people across the world play bball n we play bball so wha the dinfferences its stupid to treat sombody bad just cuz they skin color is yellow,black ,brown or white. wha happen if somebody from another race was pickin on u cuz u not they skin color u would feel out of place so y would u do that to them
