The Washington Redskins May Finally Change Their Name

[Mountain Man]

Probably not a good idea to compare legitimate opposition to a racist team name (would you call a Native American a redskin?) to AIGish cartoonish propaganda.

Funny how a majority of Native Americans polled said they are proud of rather than offended by the name "Redskin". I guess they didn't get the memo from white elitists like you.

This article is still citing the Washington Post poll, but do you know where they published the data and methodology of it? I'm still trying to find it.

I found an article on the methodology of the Washington Post survey here https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...8c8_story.html, I'm still investigating it.

Does Asian mean "yellow people", and do Asians refer to themselves that way and consider it a term to be said with pride?

No? Alrighty then...

Which WaPo survey?

The left were outraged at the results refusing to accept them since, after all, they know better. So there was a great deal of criticism by folks who felt it their duty to be outraged for Native Americans since they just weren't smart enough to be angry. So they did a second one a few years later that addressed these complaints. Instead of using upset as a response, they lessened to whether or not the name wasn't appropriate or something like that. Even so nearly 70% still had no trouble with it.

If that is how they refer to themselves then who are you to complain?

Or maybe they just don't like a handful of folks who have nothing to do with it dictating how everyone ought to respond. The Native Americans are anything but upset over this. It's a bunch of leftists who have decided how they should feel and have taken it upon themselves to be outraged.
