[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1220346, member: 12952"] CA High School Asked to Abandon Arab Mascot The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee this month sent a letter to Coachella Valley High School in southern California, asking the school to change the name of its mascot, CNN reported. The mascot "depicts a man with a large nose, heavy beard, and wearing" a traditional head covering, the group said. During halftime shows at football games, "a female dressed as belly dancer entertains the mascot by dancing for him," the group said. Coachella Valley High School is 90+% Hispanic . The irony is deep here, the kids are mostly Mexican, the school connection to Arabia is decades old and due to the similarity of weather/climate conditions and the commercial farming of medjool dates. Another example of the clueless screaming about something of which they have little knowledge. They should visit the annual Date Festival for which the area is famous and then they should apologize and leave. [/QUOTE]
