Who ever, A lot of us are casually ever, ever thought that put- racist, if only though igno- ting dynamite as a power-up rance, and it shows. in a game set in a Middle Eastern country was a good idea? Patronizing a race and resorting to stereotypes are racist behaviors that are as unacceptable and hate speech. It’s racism in the same vein as the pictures shown around Halloween in the “This is my culture, not a cos- tume” ads plastered all over campus, and this is so obvious it’s amazing and horrifying that people are still getting away with this in the twenty-fi rst century. We are sup- posed to be smart, and we are supposed to be enlightened, and racism is something that should be confi ned to the old days of the 1950s when people were ignorant and society was oppressive. We are a more liberal society, so why do these stereotypes keep cropping up? We need to learn that just because we are at war with a country does not make their citizens or their culture auto- matically evil. There are heroes and villains on both sides. Do the people behind Al-Qaeda fall fi rmly into the villain category? Yes. Do the families living in Muslim countries, whether they raise goats or live in luxury, count as villains? No, most Muslims or people of Arabic or Mid- dle Eastern descent are pretty decent people, much like human beings here or anywhere else. Vilifying a culture that belongs to a country we are at odds with is something racist and wrong. Even stereotypes from cultures that are our allies or live in the US are wrong. Asians, for example, are not naturally smarter or dumber than anyone else, but the stereotypical examples generally come from an environment where hard work and high-paying careers are valued. Not all Latinos or Hispanics are Catholic — there are Spanish-language Lutheran and fundamentalist churches both in Larimer County and in Mexico, among other places — and they are certainly not all of them dirt-poor migrant workers. Now, as the song from Avenue Q reminds us, “Every- one’s a Little Bit Racist,” mostly through ignorance. The people in power are usually white and rich, and they are usually oblivious to things outside of their experience. If they don’t understand it, it’s immediately vilifi ed, whether it’s race, culture or economic status.
