| bigjon said: so stupid. I am white. If the was a team called the White Skins or the Caucasion Cruisers I would not care in fact the same people would be suing to change the name because it shows favoritism to white people. but since its a red skin it is clearly disparaging- basically they are telling Native americans to be ashamed of the look because portraying that look is disparaging. |
Aren't you great white lady/guy. (What the heck has being white got to do with it when this is a specific target of a specific group within this ethnicity. There are thousands of different white cultures i.e Irish, English, German, Dutch, Russian and it would be like targeting one of them).
And No, it would be like calling the team the Washington Honky Crackers. Or the Washington hill billies. The "Red****s" is aimed particularly at one group of native americans also, whereas calling someone white refers to a whole race of people. Most notably the race who destroyed most of the world as we know it and also covers hundreds of groups on itself.
Native Americans do have different tribes you know? Please try not to comment on things you don't understand.
