If using an Indian name for a school symbol is rascist how about all the Indian names that are used for states, cities, towns, landmarks, etc. For instance, Dakota is the name of a Souix Indian tribe. Does that mean that if the Souix Indians object, the names of North and South Dakota will have to change. The same can be said for other states as well. Take Illinois, their name is also the name of an Indian tribe. As far as schools and universities are concerned, if the Fighting Souix is a problem how about the Fighting Illini?
I guess the U of Minnesota is off the hook since their sport teams are named after a rodent.

The fewer white people that are involved in something means that something is more diverse.

The viking is a little creepy. I don’t think the Native American Indian is offensive at all. I think it is kind of cool. AND I am a Creek Indian. So I am not sure why that would be offensive???

So are they going to become the University of North Dakota Crybabies?
That’s probably offensive to babies though.
What about that green color of the uniform? That’s offensive to colorblind people.
What about football? That’s offensive to the disabled or the “differently abled”.
Why does my spell checker highlight the “abled” word above as a misspelling? Again, that’s offensive to the differently abled.

So? Doc called me a crybaby. I’m offended.
That’s all I need. Someone get me the ACLU on the phone. My right not to be offended has been violated.
