I WONDER WHAT NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS THINK ABOUT THIS BOOK TITLE

This seems to be more ethnic studies stupidity from Dr. Augustine Romero.

Part of the controversy over the program stems from text in the books for the course. One line that keeps coming up is "Kill the gringo, " which is found in a book called " Occupied America, a history of Chicanos. " Augustin Romero who is the director of the program told KGUN9 that the quote is taken out of context. He said, " (Rodolfo) Acuna is talking about a moment in time. The book itself is not advocating for hatred toward any one group. What Acuna is doing is telling the history of a people and using one example."
