Another Interview with Sherman ALexie on True Diary of the Part-time India

Hello everyone I found an interview with Sherman ALexie on The absolutely "True Diary of the Part-time India" when I was working on my analysis paper. He was interviewed by "Sadie Magazine" in fall 2010.

Here is the URL for those that are interested.

In this interview, there was a part when Sherman was asked if he had faced a lot of prejudice when growing up.

Sherman answered,” I remember once my mom and dad and my brothers and sisters and I were walking in Spokane and a truck pulled up and the guy inside leaned out and called us dirty Indians and spit on us.”
I wondered why racial slurs in Eastern Washington are less now than before? I mean it is good that is less now, but what changed people to become less racist?
