Racism In Wyoming

Here is a good article about the racism supposedly experienced by an American-Indian sports team from Wyoming.

The article is good because it remains deliberately ambiguous about whether the events described in it really are racist or not. The usual media practice is to plaster the word "racism" across the top of the newspaper as soon as a black person catches a cold. So it was refreshing to see this article - by Associated Press, no less - leave it up to the reader to decide how racist these events were.
