Mike & Molly Indian joke

Mike & Molly Indian joke, Alcoholism might be a serious problem that accounts for up to 12 percent of American Indian deaths, but can’t we all agree that making fun of drunk Indians is HI-LARIOUS! No? OK, we didn't think so either, but someone might want to tell the producers of "Mike and Molly." The CBS sitcom has been heavily criticized by the Navajo Nation and other Native American groups because of a joke in the show's Feb. 25 episode. Navajo Nation spokesman Erny Zah called part of a scene "deplorable" where Mike's mom asks why she'd want to move to Arizona, saying "It’s nothing but a furnace full of drunk Indians." "Alcoholism is a real issue on our reservations and it’s not funny," Zah said. Several groups have called for an apology, though they say it will not fix the damage done. The network has not yet commented. Reported msn Now...
