There have been groups of Native Americans, or if you prefer, American Indians involved with lobbying the Redskins for years.MugsVanSant said:
My roommate at Cal some 48 years ago was Sicilian (and still is). He enjoyed watching The Godfather (brand new at the time ) and making all kinds of Italian jokes.
The bottom line is that the demands for the name change are not coming from Indians but from politically correct white people. For that matter, the term "native Americans" also has its origins among the politically correct set. The accurate term would be "aboriginal Americans". I am a native American because I was born here. Aboriginal Americans are not demanding that the Bureau of Indian Affairs change the anme of that bureaucracy.
Probably the guy who downplayed segregation because only older people experienced it.Chapman_is_Gone said:Who are you referring to?metabear said:

What exactly is the "political correct" set? If a name is offensive to anyone (not related to this specific example at all) are we not better as a society not to use it? Is it important for you to be able to call me a ****, or to use the expression "Jew-ed down" in front of your Jewish friends and associates?
