Should go harder IMHO. This ad from the National Congress of American Indians does a good job.
Yeah the only issue here is “Caucasians” is roughly similar in emotional weight to “native Americans.”
Shirt should say like, “crackers” or something
Even that word has no pull nowadays. I don’t know any white people that are even bothered by it in the least. I am one half Caucasian and I know for sure that it has no affect at all on me. I think it’s a kind of funny word, actually. We need something with more spice to it for sure. Mayo monkies? Snow roaches? Marshmallow minions?
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.”
He got it wrong though. The shirt should says “CRACKERS”.
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.
Except redskins is offensive. It’s not the name of a group of people, it’s an epithet describing them.
New poll finds 9 in 10 Native Americans aren’t offended by Redskins name
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?
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.
Sorry, it’s not my job to find out whether or not you’re lying.
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’m all for it. I want the mascot to be just a normal guy named “Steve.” It’s just some white guy in a cardigan. His catch phrase is “Hi, I’m Steve, nice to meet you.”
When the players score a touchdown, the fans all chant “Hi, I’m Steve.” The customary celebration is for the player to mime a normal handshake.
