I was more interested in your own personal experience regarding discrimination. I confess I don't care enough about native American issues to read all those books. And I hope you're not suggesting that I'm not qualified to speak about these issues unless I have read them all - or unless I am a native American myself. I suppose I could try to sling back at you a bunch of books about the shameless exploitation of the race issue in America. But you know what, I'm guessing there probably aren't any - and not for the lack of shameless exploitation. Can't imagine a publisher who'd want to be hounded as a bigot, litigated into oblivion and driven out of business for offending one or another minority pressure group. Understand if you will, I'm not saying there aren't lingering traces of discrimination in America or Britain. But the ongoing campaign against those traces, spearheaded by the narrow interest/pressure groups, has itself become far more of an offense against fairness, equality, decency and common sense than those traces ever could.
