The question wasn't "do they care about the names?", it was "will they ever care?"

Not really I mean I don't see what it insulting about Celtics, Fighting Irish, Vikings, Spartans, Trojans, or any other white ethnic group cause when your white their isn't anything racist you can say about a white person.

The black where taken from their land Jews still fight to keep theirs us Natives had it taken from us my facts are right.

I really don't see how being taken from your land into slavery could possibly be seen as better than having land taken from you... If anything, it seems much worse.

And in the Jews' case, yes, they did. (I am referring to land owned in Europe in the 1930s-40s. Not to Israel.)

Anyway, how that statement would support your point about Native American related team names, I have no idea.

Not only was it taken from us we where all victims of mass geneocide if you know anything about the trial of tears you should read about it.

And in the Jews' case, yes, they did. (I am referring to land owned in Europe in the 1930s-40s.)

In the 1930-1940s the land was more owned by the nazis at the time after the war was over it was the soviets killing the jews off next.

It doesn't support it at all really I just get a lil hot headed when thinking about why they would take down a inidian mascot but yet it's okay to have a white one seems pretty bias.

Name one racial slur for a white person and I will. Oh and it is not a assumption me family all agree with this so it's a family opinon and I'm ginger white as a ghost with red hair. And of native america descent so I'll ask again what is a racial slur for some one that is white that is racist?
