Archaeological Vandalism

And in America, oh so classily, we have the defacement of a Native American site.  Because white America can never look *quite* enough like a gang of mouth-breathing thugs and idiots.  The article points out that this outrage may be offensive to the living members of these ancestors' tribes.  The fact is, this outrage is offensive on its own terms - to everyone.

The perps who did this asinine thing may well be white, but why assume? According to Wikipedia, the nearest town, Blythe, is 53% Hispanic or Latino, which overlaps with 60% white, 15% black, and more than 19% "other."

A good point. I usually try not to post when cranky, but this was a lapse. I'll leave it up, though - would be disingenuous to edit like I'm more reasonable than I really am, right?

Clearly, it was Kaiser Sosa.
