Methi the Government Scapegoat
Posted On Monday, June 26, 2006 at at 4:31 PM by DanThe main campaign I'm on right now is the Racial Justice Campaign Against Operation Meth Merchant (www.stopoperationmethmerchant.org). It's a campaign against the racial targeting of the South Asian community in North Georgia for the meth problem. The authorities there are scapegoating South Asians for meth. What better way to make the point then with our very own scapegoat. Here's a link to the statement made by Methi the Government Scapegoat.

Just fyi, methi is a green leafy vegetable similar to spinach. Some of the defendants didn't know what meth was and thought the authorities were talking about cooked vegetables. Sad, but true. If you have a moment, stop by and view the video. It's a bit large so if you don't have a higher speed connection it could be a problem. I really do encourage you to look. This is funny stuff in not so funny times.
It would also help the campaign if you forward the link. The more media on the Racial Justice Campaign the better.
