OT-Since when is the term Indians racist?
- Thread starter cornhead1
- Start date
It’s started probably about 30 years ago maybe longer so it’s not just a new thing it h just grown slowly until it it’s boils over
I’m offended that you’re offended and that everyone is not offended when given the chance to be offended.
Make sure you use the preposition “of” when referring to a “a person of color” rather than the racist “colored person.”
I’m off to re-education camp comrade.

Somebody needs to tell Indian activist Tim Giago (he's Lakota Sioux) that his news publication called "indian Country" from the rez in Western South Dakota is "racist".
Make sure that they shame you repeatedly because of white privilege even if your not white somewhere in your family you do have it
International Anthropologists & the world renowned National Geographic tells us we all came from Mother Africa. Some of us just couldn’t take the heat & humidity & beat feet. I guess we’re all black but just don’t know it. Nothing worse than a confused whitebread homie.

No, they ought to adopt the Negro League team name Buckeyes - just to make Ohio State fans' heads explode.
If you have ever read Tim Giago's articles, you would be well aware that he is opposed to the use of indigenous mascots and he, along with an overwhelming majority of Native Americans, considers such use explicitly racist.
The Great Human Migration
Why humans left their African homeland 80,000 years ago to colonize the world.

Oh, it's coming. You can count on it. Same thing happened up here in North Dakota with the UND Fighting Sioux. The real racists were the ones that were embarrassed and offended by the name Sioux. Stop and think about that. How racist is that? The anti-racist racists have to keep the outrage going so one by one the "racist" names will fall. The Chiefs, the Braves, the Seminoles, the Illini, the Utes. and the Aztecs. But if it's a name depicting people of the less preferred pigmentation, like Vikings or the fighting Irish, well that's different cuz, well, it's different .. privilege or something. By the way, I am all for the Washington football team changing its name to the Washington swamp rats. It would be very appropriate.
I was born in the US. I'm a native too
American Indians or indigenous tribes are the better words
You need to get up on things. The new "white privilege" label now applies to anyone of any color or race who is successful and has money. There is no end to this and somewhere it is going to not end well.
Cornhuskers has to be racist. Looking down on folks that husked corn for a living.
Kansas Jayhawks. aka’s Jayhawkers, Border Ruffians, Red Legs, Bleeding Kansas= Racists.
Oklahoma “Sooners.” Land grabbers, Oklahoma= “Land of the Red Man.”= Racist bastards.

Those are fighting wordsLaughing
I am offended by ND all the time for any reason
My Dad was born on the Pine Lake "Indian Reservation" to my grandma, who was full blooded Lakota Indian with the maiden last name of Iron Moccasin. FYI most American Indians migrated from Siberia, so they aren't anymore native than European-Americans. They just beat them here. The term Indian is not racist. But then again, I grew up when people from the Orient were called Orientals. Now that's racist because someone was pissed off and declared it racist. The list goes on and on.
You give these people an inch they'll take a mile. Well the right has given them miles and they've taken over the country. I havent watched a single news story since the week of the election and I intend to keep it that way. The country is beyond repair when something as basic and fundamental as an election is completely rigged. Hope you all enjoy San Francisco cause that's what the rest of the country is about to be like.
I also find ND to be offensive , they’ve never offered me a drink and their logo is a drunken, cigar smoking leprechaun!
or lucky charms.
He wants the gold for himself, such a privileged troll on society

i believe there is a difference to most people between something being racist and something being offensive. I think many of you still have the problem of looking at issues from only your perspective and not taking the time to learn how other peoples perspective might be different than yours and why. I dont necessarily think these names are racist but i do understand how using them to market our sports franchises might be offensive to native americans. But i certainly do not understand how so many of you are not more empathetic when the solution is so easy and causes so little harm to anyone. If they dont want their names and images used for our entertainment purposes then lets not use them. its real simple. it wont hurt anything and it might make others happy then do it and move on.
another uneducated opinion. white privilege is not meant to shame. people like you added that term to try to cause backlash to a real thing. white privilege to most people just means understanding and acknowledging the difference between growing up in a nice suburb with hundred thousand dollar homes and SUVs and 2 parents who often graduated from college and growing up in the ghetto with maybe 1 parent working a minimum wage job no history of college graduation in the family; a crappy school system and surrounded only by people who were born into a similar situation without all the resources that kids get from being in the former situation.
its a very factual thing that many people just dont want to acknowledge because it means some of us got the benefit of a better starting point than others. often times hard work is not the reason we have what we have. But many of us would rather believe we are better than others when we are not.
