WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2002 A man born in India sees nothing wrong with using American Indians as mascots. Dinesh D'Souza claims that opponents of mascots haven't made their case. "They don't bother to persuade," he said during a speech at Ottawa University in Kansas, as reported by The Lawrence Journal-World. "They just say, ‘I'm offended.'" D'Souza is a conservative commentator who opposes affirmative action and runs with an anti-liberal crowd whose members include Ann Coulter, a conservative columnist who last year suggested it was appropriate to discriminate against Muslims. The paper characterizes him as a "scholar" -- he is a Stanford University Fellow. Ottawa University's mascot is the "Braves." Get the Story:
