[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1058866, member: 72205"] We should also note the fact the world has literally changed since 1999 in terms of globality of a brand or group and awareness of issues. In 1999 its fair to say most people did not have regular internet access hell home computing was still in its infancy but about rapidly expanding. We studied the American West at school at the very time Exeter were adopting it and we did a fair amount of time on the systematic destruction of the native American people what we didn't study is how those stereotypes still existed then (1999-2001) and now continue almost two decades later. Now with internet access and huge population carrying phones in their pockets we can see in real time that these issues are not just a 'then' problem but also a 'now' problem. Many people think we should actually act on that instead of shurgging our shoulders and go 'ah well it always been like that'. [/QUOTE]
