Many on the left tend to believe that they need to do any given minorities thinking for them since they obviously can't do it for themselves.

The difference between us is your immediate dismissal of anything that contradicts your carefully crafted narrative.

Again I wonder why conservatives here have such high anxiety about this, or even why they see it as a problem.

Just another example of white liberals telling someone that they need to be upset and then getting mad if they don't.

I linked a list of Native American groups who had asked for it to be changed. I trust their word for it.

That list reminds me of the Dissent From Darwin list where a hand full of persons out of a vast number are used to try to show some sort of trend.

The polls that I noted (Annenberg poll and two by the WaPo) reveal that Native Americans are just not all that worked up about it, what with two of them showing that 90% of Native Americans are not upset over it. Do you not trust their word for it?

I'm a conservative, and I don't have high anxiety over it - I just think it's silly.

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.

These aren't individuals, they represent various groups.

A fair point could be made here, I'm still looking into this. In general I don't trust opinion polls that much. They're easily manipulated.
