You Can't Be Serious

Dear Editor,
    You can't be serious? Armed white male mask instructions? [“How to Assemble Your Armed White Male Mask,” Oct. 27.] First of all that's racist. Secondly, that's terribly insensitive to the many people who lost loved ones in recent tragedies. How about a black male Chicagoan? He could look like a gang member holding a gun. How would that come across?
    Austin has always been a place of accepting all walks of life. Perpetuating division is shameful. Yes white males have long been a majority who have not expressed much oppression but that does not make it OK to stereotype or demean them.
    Your edit should resign!
