Some reporter from the IndyStar apparently doesn't check their article titles for racial undertones.


"Harangody, White join All-American 2nd team"

If I read that title quickly without any regard to context, which I often do with news, I would think that the event of a white person making an All-American basketball team would be newsworthy, for his incredible pastiness and perceived lack of athleticism. "White" actually refers to D.J. White, a senior forward for Indiana. ( Who is actually black.) Indystar, it would behoove you to edit your article titles carefully to protect newspaper's image from being defamed by people like me, racists who don't read things carefully. I assure you there are many of us in this country.
