Anne; Racial stereotyping is not a pretty thing. Let's try to be rational and objective on such a nice email discussion chain like this. I am sure you are a wonderful mentor for your students, but I don't recall that being any part of this discussion. Perhaps you should encourage your students to attend Gods and Generals and learn some Civil War history. I am sure it would be a great benefit to them.
