Like for example, the Cleveland Indians baseball team got its name from the owner, Charles Somers, after he changed the name from “Naps” to “Indians” after a Native American, Louis Sockalexis played for Cleveland in 1914. In this case, the name was given to honor a Native American, but the choice of the name along with the mascot can be deceiving and negative if used in the wrong context. The team’s mascot is an Indian with red skin, long nose, and feather in his hair which is very stereotypical.

Although the character of Sofia knows that her resistance will cause trouble, she feels it is more important to stand up for herself, than to bow down to repression of white authority. Had Sofia not fought back, she still would have been punished for cursing the Mayor’s wife. There was no pathway for Sofia to keep her dignity and not offend the Mayor and his wife.
