LAKE ANDES, S.D. (AP) - American Indian Charon Asetoyer says that when she went to vote a few years ago, a white man gave her the finger and asked her in vulgar terms what she was doing there.
She says she told him she had a right to vote, and she went back to her car to wait for him to leave. Only when he sped away did she walk inside.
"It's outright racism," said Asetoyer, who lives on the Yankton Sioux Indian Reservation in impoverished Charles Mix County, where Indians are about one-third of the population.
