California Powwow is “Disingenuous” and “Cheap”

** UPDATE — March 22 — ** The writer of the article has released an apology.  It can be found on the first two pages of Issue “68-08,” along with a message from the editor and several letters to the editor concerning the article.  Here’s a link to the online copy.

The student newspaper, “Union Weekly” at Cal State Long Beach, published an article last week concerning a  powwow which took place on campus.  It really speaks for itself. 

Here’s a link to the newspaper’s Facebook page.

    Pathetic. If this is an example of journalists-in-training it’s pretty clear why print media is on the decline. And good riddance to it.

    The author should be ashamed to put his name to this article. It is a prime example of a lack of cultural understanding and a promotion of racist attitudes. Try studying the group you’re going to write about before you spew such disgusting rhetoric – or don’t bother to offer your opinion.

    Lisa – I couldn’t have said it better myself. People, most especially (supposed) journalists, should know what it is they are talking about before spewing their nonsense into the world.
