Yes, but that’s the point. They didn’t do that to white people, so white people are in no position to be offended. Including me. Which is why I’m not only not offended, but find that highly appropriate.
The problem with the football teams is that usually the name of team is the name of a group of ppl that was almost exterminated and their descendants still pay the price and nobody cares while their name is used as something cool. Just using the name should not be that offensive.
I like to omit the source sometimes just to draw out lazy comments like yours. It really shows that you’re not that interested but just want to argue. It’s the title of an article from one of the most prominent newspapers out there, it’d be the first result if you simply pasted it in Google, but rather than save yourself the embarrassment, you chose this route.
Swing and a miss.
The article is even better than the title.
Among the Native Americans reached over a five-month period ending in April, more than 7 in 10 said they did not feel the word “Redskin” was disrespectful to Indians. An even higher number — 8 in 10 — said they would not be offended if a non-native called them that name.
This is not about whether I’m lying or not, it’s about you preferring to stay ignorant, which proves the point that you don’t really care about the subject. If you want to close your eyes and pretend it’s nighttime, then it’s not my job to convince you otherwise.
I can’t speak for all of Caucasia but I’m not offended.
I will speak to my fellow caucasians and say, “if you’re offended, lighten the fuck up, honky.”
I think the way it works is someone who is not a member of that group tells you it’s offensive
He got it wrong though. The shirt should says “CRACKERS”.
Also not offended by this.
Me either, but it’s actually meant to be offensive whereas Caucasians is just a classification.

You would be if they had stolen your home and pranced around in a caricature costume of you through the stadium they built after bulldozing your land

What is happening when white people are like “I’m not offended by this” is to minimize the offense that native Americans feel about the same thing.
As if to say “I’m not offended, why are they?”
Cracker isn’t an epithet that native Americans have ever used though.
Paleface would be the matching slur to redskin.
That works. I couldn’t think of pale face at the time, but you got my point.

Except redskins is offensive. It’s not the name of a group of people, it’s an epithet describing them.
It’s offensive to gen z victim mentality complex people who want to define themselves through misery.
Were you going to show us this poll or were you just going to expect us to believe that quote of yours isn’t one you just made up?

Sorry, it’s not my job to find out whether or not you’re lying.

Got it. You were lying.
When you’re trying to educate yourself that’s exactly your job.
Nope. That’s not how the burden of proof works.

I can’t agree with either of you. I need to go make a poopie now. Bye.
I can speak for all of Caucasia: no comment
