The main idea in this reading is to explain how we identify ourselves as a part of a group by using symbols. I feel like symbols are a way to identified yourself with a specific group and also to distinguish yourself from others. For example, in soccer games fans usually buy different type of gears and accessories to differentiate themselves from the rival team, but at the same time connecting with others fan that support your team. Although there is controversy since some symbols can be offensive to the groups that identify with those symbols.
The reading connects to what we are studying in that it helps us understand how the wrong use of symbols can lead to racism. The word “redskin” was originally used by Native American as a way to differentiate
