Aaah, Impact. You never fail to baffle me. You give me informative, passionate articles on issues like the FTAA, gun control, factory farming and direct action. You inspire me with calls to action and concrete steps that I can take to change the world. Then you print a rant about the ethics of showing live surgery over the Internet, illustrated with a cartoon of three Silicon Valley “Hindus” in robes and turbans with laptops about to film a quadruple bypass. The article mocks their funny accents, and ends, “Do you think that just because we’re in the nuclear winter of the dot com era we all won’t all (sic) fall prey to the back stabbing schemes of our young Hindu entrepreneur friends?” This is probably funny for some reason that I’m not aware of, right, Impact? You wouldn’t just be using racial stereotypes for cheap laffs, would you, Impact? Well, would you? (Wendy Banks)
