What’s more, many also wear fright wigs and grass skirts and are handing coconuts to clamoring parade watchers. The scene looks like something from an old social studies filmstrip about stereotypes and how to avoid them, the kind of thing that crops up today mostly in news accounts involving students being expelled from school. Complicating matters, most of those in the parade are black."
