The whole Indian thing, I always say it's really the American holocaust. It's something we need to look at.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The more we study the Indian's character the more we appreciate the marked distinction between the civilized being and the real savage.
When an Indian meets a terrorist, we condemn this.
I believe that the Holocaust is the most significant event in human history.
The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism and stereotyping on a society. It forces us to examine the responsibilities of citizenship and confront the powerful ramifications of indifference and inaction.
Whatever their reasons, Hollywood, or the entertainment industry, is saying something about Indians. I don't see the rest of the media knocking down any doors to do that.
As I've written more, and as other Indian American voices have grown around me, I strive harder to find experiences that are unique yet a meaningful and resonant part of the American story.
Some Indians will come up and say that a story reminded them of something very specific to their experience. Which may or may not be the case for non-Indians.
The Holocaust is a central event in many people's lives, but it also has become a metaphor for our century. There cannot be an end to speaking and writing about it. Besides, in Israel, everyone carries a biography deep inside him.
We demand that people don't deny the Holocaust, and we can't ignore the tragedy of another nation.
In the John Wayne movies, the Indians were savages that were trying to scalp you. That culture has really suffered because of the stereotype you see in those westerns.
