Sentinel editorial writer inept in treatment of ethnic slurs

Gillman, Richard

Letter to the editor berating Waterville, Maine's Morning Sentinel editorial staff for failing to criticize a Portland-based radio station (WBLM) that frequently included in its morning show a segment poking fun at a Franco American character. Cites an article in which the editorial staff "trivialize[d]" complaints against the radio program's arguable ethnic discrimination, and chastises the newspaper for missing an opportunity to heighten local conversation about ethnic humor and cultural stereotypes.
