Why do white people care about changing the name of the redskins so bad

[Midswat]

Redskins is not a racial slur, Laz.

Deal with it.

Shut it whitey!

cracker ass cracker

That doesn't make it any less offensive.

that's in the eye of the beholder. "redskins," like "colored," sounds weird by modern-day, pc-soaked standards, but "offensive" is subjective.

 

[Midswat]

Laz I just went to an indian guy in our office and called him a Redskin and he didn't do anything. Imagine that.

 

[cmd34(work)]

because he's from India dummie.

[bbgun]

No one's heard of them, because YOU haven't heard of them. Ok. Got it.

I'm confident that the average American doesn't know who the fuck they are, where they're headquartered, or who their leadership is.

Call him a fag too. For science

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Noty at all. But I'm certain I fucking know more than you in regards to this topic, and I don't have to refer to some fucking poll. I interact with Native Americans almost on a daily basis.

Ok, so you do know more than most... Have you asked them specifically about the sports team?

 

[Jon88]

Shut the fuck up. You're proof that simple minds need simple answers.

Laz is going off on everyone.

 

[bbgun]

where do rednecks go for restitution?

Fucking liar. I was waiting for how long it would take before you would come up with that line since the start of this thread. Took you 2 hours. Wow! And you just so happen to have an Native American right there to go up and ask. . Was it one of those wooden Indians that they have outside those cigar stores?

True. One thing for sure, is that it's not for YOU to say that these people shouldn't be offended, and that's the issue.

Not confident, but stupid more likely. Doubt you even know any Native Americans, so how would you know what they know?

Does Midswat constitute as being 'most'?

 

[Jon88]

Laz is it true that you work in the healthcare industry?

How many of your patients have "mysteriously died"?

they don't have the right not to be offended, so ...

No. He is a really for real Native American. A Powhatan. And he's got Redskins gear decorating his office. Weird, huh?
