Today was a good day for the principle that all races deserve respect, with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s surprise ruling that the trademark on the Washington Redskins logo is invalid because it demeans Native Americans. Well done, Administrative Judge Karen Kuhlke.
But if you need to be reminded that hateful racial prejudice still festers, and that even federal judges can be insensitive to it, then you need to read a shocking ruling that came out Tuesday from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
