In class we talked about how many interviews there are with Sherman Alexie, yet since this one was on The Absolutely True Diary of the Part-time Indian and is from our local KTCS Channel 9, I thought you might want to check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io9vRHYMiFM
While I was poking around youtube I found this piece from comedian Charlie Hill back in 1983. I wasn't sure about him when it first started, yet as he went on I was riveted and cracking up. Even though it is twenty eight years old, much of it is still funny and often powerful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh6eCALFohY&feature=related

I also found an interview with Sherman ALexie on The absolutely "True Diary of the Part-time India" when I was working on my analysis paper. He was interviewed by "Sadie Magazine" in fall 2010.

In this interview, there was a part when Sherman was asked if he had faced a lot of prejudice when growing up.
Sherman answered,” I remember once my mom and dad and my brothers and sisters and I were walking in Spokane and a truck pulled up and the guy inside leaned out and called us dirty Indians and spit on us.”
I wondered why racial slurs in Eastern Washington are less now than before? I mean it is good that is less now, but what changed people to become less racist?
