Red Privilege

We need to poll asian people in order to get a true cross section. Maybe their is a class action suit they can get it on if the name isn't changed?

 

swim into a school of carp and call one of them asian and see what happens to you

 

Your logic is equivalent to treating Tebow as representative of an elite NFL QB.

I doubt I'm the only one who finds Canadian bacon offensive. fuck that shit.

 

Pigs are offended by having "Canadian" associated with them.

 

Fries are offended by having "French" associated with them; luckily toast doesn't care.

 

It is more offensive to real bacon, calling ham "bacon". Ridiculous.

 

Being 1/4 Irish I am deeply offended by the name "Fighting Irish". It portrays the Irish as a bunch of fighting drunks. I demand that offensive slur of a name be changed immediately.

 

It's pork roll and it's awesome!

 

Your right that so irresponsible. It should be potato eating drunk fighting Irish. Much more accurate.

 

Throw a Greek Salad at someone in Athens and see what happens to you.

Interesting take on this thing.

Highlights: The dude on the football helmet is a famous injun that the Founding Fathers really dug, and the team name is a quasi-tribute to the Boston Red Sox for allowing the team with the famous injun on its helmet to play at Fenway Park. Heh.

 

I'm offended.

Terrible article. Why would any team owner have a mascot of people he disliked? Why would Donald Sterling own an NBA team if he were a racist? The "tradition" and "honorable" arguments are petit attempts at revisionism. Too many people in this thread who supposedly despise PC and offensiveness are in reality getting their panties in a bunch more hilariously than any pussy liberal I've ever met. Hopefully the quality of jokes improves at least, repetitively mocking collective Native American opinion with singular examples is uncreative and boorish. Then again some find Dane Cook to be humorous. I'm hoping for some nice puns or actually good pro-Washington Team Name arguments (they do exist, just posters on here can't come up with them apparently. Damn shame.) And it goes without saying but injun=nigger.

 

If the Cleveland Indians don't have to change their name, I'm going to be pissed. Indian is just as offensive as redskin. Why do people in this day and age still call native americans, indians? That was only originally said by ignorant folk like Columbus and his crew of slave drivers, who thought he was in India. Then he became a tyrant and enslaved dozens of natives and we treat this guy like a national hero for being the 3rd person to make to America, possibly even the 4th. I'm offended by the term Indian when not used to refer to people from India, and I'm neither Indian, nor native.

 

You are correct, actually. Couple that with the logo and, bam, xenophobic propaganda.

 

They refer to themselves as "American Indians".. most prefer that to "Native Americans"
