Why does every City Paper cover story feature a fat blac
« on: August 23, 2004, 09:07:00 am »
Dear City Paper,
 
    You are very good at perpetuating stereotypes. In spite of your cover stories you run week after week, I'm choosing not to believe that:
 
 1. Every person in DC is fat.
 2. Every person in DC is black.
 3. Every black person is fat.
 
    Your cover article this week about fat cops takes the cake (and apparently eats it too).
 
 Yours truly,
 
 Rhett

Rhett, send the same comments you made here to their email address. I can't wait to read it in the Mail section of the paper.

Did you really send that in Rhett or did you just post that here?
 
 Bet they'll just ignore it.
 
 Better yet, they don't know you like we do.   :D
