This is a ridiculous argument. They were first so far as we know through prehistory. And in any event, it's beside the fact. We have a terrible history with these people and 'Redskins' in rightfully offensive to many people who live with the legacy of brutality and oppression that we willfully imposed on their culture and ancestors. Any humane and open-minded person can recognize this. Human slavery also occurred from 'time immemorial' and yet we reject that practice as backwards. It's foolish to argue that history advocates for thoughtless and needless actions. Society was built by generations of men who rejected this notion.

The indigenous cultures of this continent that existed when we arrived could have annihilated multiple previous cultures. It doesn't vindicate or absolve us in any fashion. The same argument is employed by insane racists who attempt to legitimize the morality American slavery by saying that slavery was a feature of many West African civilizations. If anything, if we're so much better, then we should aspire to be better in all ways rather than tacitly embrace this profoundly regressive shit.

You find no moral fault in how we treated First Nations people? Are you seriously arguing that it was simply the inevitable consequence of the advancement of civilization and the degree that our society benefitted from their loss carries no moral culpability?

If that's the case, do you think it's cool to call a football team by other racist monikers, or is 'Redskins' some kind of special category that we can create through a tortured rereading of history?

Completely disowning racist actions in the present because you didn't live in the racist past is incoherent. Human slavery was wrong and we know that and we reject it, even though we have no direct culpability for the actions of previous generations. We can still recognize the moral truth of that period and reconcile our current behavior. Rejecting a racist team name is no different than rejecting slavery.

Can you imagine naming an expansion team the Redskins?

I understand the natural conservative impulse to preserve tradition. It's fundamental. But we all live with the reality that culture is progressive and things change. We know what we did to those people and there is no need or inherent value in labeling a prominent football team with something directly tied to genocide and misery perpetrated by our marauding ancestors.

Stating that 'BUT ITS THEIR OWN TERM GUIS!' ignores so much about history and culture that I don't care to figure out where to start. You know it, too.

I don't think so. I don't think it's right to say negro or other once innocuous words that now offend black people. Obviously it can only go so far, but I think a general stance of deference makes sense.

But I guess that means since you feel comfortable ignoring them saying something doesn't often them it is also alright to ignore when something does offend? It's your world Mr white savior.

Assume 65% of black people are indifferent to being called negro. The rest fall on some spectrum of dislike to outright offense and feel it should constrain free speech due to its offensive and worthless nature. Are you going to argue to a black audience that they should just get over it because hey, a simply majority is simply OK with it? Hey guys, c'mon, it's all right there in the polling!

In fairness you have made no real point ITT so there's no much to say. As far as I can tell you're saying "yeah I realize native Americans don't care but by god they should, so change it!" which is at best dumb and at worst paternalistic.

The more important criticism of your fairly stupid point is actually made in the other thread on the front page right now where the guy points out that the reason it's deeply important to libs like you that this name change happens is that if you were to accept the premise that his kind of cosmetic paternalism is actually not important at all - as the native Americans seem to have done - then you'd have to confront the fact that most of what libs stand for is entirely cosmetic and irrelevant, and in many cases actively wrong, and the only real purpose is virtue signaling. This is understandably uncomfortable for you which is why even in the face of overwhelming indifference of native Americans you MUST stand by the premise that this is important.

You guys are hiding behind some questionably valuable polling data like it's a panacea for your troubled arguments. Say there are only 100K true indigenous descendants with connection and affiliation with your ethnic culture. If 10K of them feel that using 'Redskins' is fucked up and degrading, is that not a good enough reason? What does it cost white majority culture to acknowledge their grievance with calling a major sports franchise a name that they take as a slur?

LOL at implicating virtue signaling. Consider the forum I have chosen, dummy. I'm inviting attack by raising the issue here. I have a great track record of lampooning virtue signaling and I hate it as much as the most ardent reptile.

There is absolutely no evidence that even 10% of people consider it fucked up and degrading. I understand that you deeply need to believe that some football team name could ever rise to anywhere near the level of "fucking up and degrading" an entire culture, but it doesn't - as evidenced by the fact that 90% of natives think it's fine and the remaining 10% may prefer another name but don't find it fucked up or degrading per any poll.

What's fucked up and degrading is that liberal whites believe that minorities are weak enough to be fucked up or degraded by a historical anachronism that wasn't even meant with offense. That's simply an embarrassing and fucked up view.

Lmao. It's not my position. The people who don't find the name offensive are the native Americans themselves. The only mental gymnastics going on here is your attempt to say that a team name used to refer to people that the people themselves don't find offensive is still offensive. Your attempt to argue other facts won't help. If the facts were different and it was a different name meant with offense that people took with offense then you things would be different. Unfortunately for you, the facts are that the name was not intended with offensie and the overwhelming majority of native Americans therefore take none. There is no inconsistency here. Sorry.

Argue that there is true value and merit in the name that outweighs the negative association and I will listen. Unless you start hand-waiving about slippery slopes and the broader value of not being made to do shit by shitlib nanny culture because that is already addressed elsewhere.

"Don't take the easy route of mistaking histrionic social meeting bleating and internet neckbeard persecution of academia for some kind of nascent paradigm shift."

Why shouldn't I? There has clearly been one. Even a basic glance at social history makes it obvious that people now (or at least a culturally influential subgroup) are far more sensitive regarding mascots, statues, and just about anything that has some ethnic aspect to it. "Cultural appropriation" literally didn't exist as a concept until the 1980s, but now it's an obsession. Just listen to yourself in this thread, where you admit you can't even accept utterly neutral names like Braves or Chiefs. You basically are uncomfortable with American Indians being cultural entities. I think that's actively bad.

"Elsewhere you argue that coveting our indigenous people like some kind of glorified pet is a proud and valuable tradition"

That's your view, not mine. I just don't see mascotification as inherently demeaning, even when it involves caricatures. Mascots are affectionate and often an expression of local pride, and I think the vast majority of people feel that way.

If you call your team the Washington Niggers, then no amount of local pride and affection makes it acceptable. Your personal take on whether or not the name somehow celebrates Native Americans (it really doesn't and nobody asked us to) does not attenuate the shitty nature of it.

The first part of your post is more of the same. 1. Fear mongering about the shitlib thought police turning us into Sweden, and 2. Most people who disagree with using 'Redskins' hold similar positions on the Braves and Indians. I have no discomfort with indigenous people as participants in our culture. That's purely you making an attack on me and suggesting my position is driven by some kind of latent weirdness over indigenous people.

Shitlibs got a lot of mileage out of the picture. It captures some of the issue. Making them our mascots encourages that guy to paint his face red and many indigenous descendants find that degrading. Anyone can understand that.

If the n-word were a historically neutral term created by blacks that simply was decreed to be offensive for no reason except general ignorance, then the Washington N*****s would be a totally fine name. It's not any of those things and you know it.

"I have no discomfort with indigenous people as participants in our culture."

Bullshit. You clearly do and you've shown it repeatedly. Maybe you don't realize it or don't accept it, but it's still the case.

nobody is saying that there's "no moral dimension" to any of this. but it's not helpful to run around saying "this is offensive, we should get rid of it" when a) the standards of what is "offensive" are ambiguous and b) when you are not setting some clear empirical standard as to what passes and what does not, whether based on some measure of attitudes among the supposedly harmed people or something else. you've somewhat addressed b) by specifying ethnic slurs but most libs have not, and they find names like "braves" and "chiefs" just as offensive, which opens up a different and more sweeping debate (though even by your standard the case of "indians" is ambiguous).

it's not just a question of "business/profits versus morals." dan snyder isn't the only one fighting to keep the name. it's quite clear that most redskins fans and nfl fans would prefer to keep it too. these people have no financial skin in the game on this, they are just people who have a personal emotional investment in a shared institution.

it's reasonable to argue that, just as a matter of taste, we should find a "slur-like" mascot objectionable even if less than 10% of natives actually give a shit (though you seem to be basing your argument in part on the quantity of people offended, and it doesn't seem like many natives really do care). but the institution has a great deal of social value and you're ignoring that part of the issue, as though changing the mascot would be a pretty simple change and that it's just a matter of dan snyder being willing to take whatever financial hit he might take.

the mascot wasn't designed to offend people when it was introduced and it's since evolved to become an institution which is greater than the dictionary meaning of the word, and something which people care about. this isn't as simple as asking ownership to take a hit for moral reasons.

and again, most libs are making a broader argument which doesn’t hinge on the status of a word as a “slur” anyways. the argument as you’ve constructed it isn’t exactly the same as most of the popular argument for changing these names.

This is a thoughtful post and I'll respond in more detail but I should say that Brave and Indians and even Chiefs are all shitty. But Redskins has a different history and it was inarguably used as a pejorative at times. It directly implicates a tradition of treating First Nations people as an other, as lower, as a relic, as a conquered people adjacent to white society. Chief Wahoo is profoundly fucked up too.

Where I start to wobble is the pushback against high school teams being called the 'Warriors' and the like. This has actually happened all over the place and it's usually driven by the students. I'm not saying they aren't the stooges of their shitlib parents and youtube echo chamber, but it is indicative of changing cultural standards when it comes to openly marginalizing ethnic groups.

i can at least appreciate the argument against ‘redskins’ and chief wahoo but a) again, most libs almost completely ignore the aspect of sports teams as social institutions, as though it was just a matter of business / profits vs. morals, and b) when you start arguing against names like “braves” and “chiefs” then charles’ point below is right. names like “illini” and “seminoles" and “utes” are great ways by which to honor local history and the culture of these people, and names like “braves” and “chiefs” and “warriors” are all quite respectful and laudatory. i actually think it would have been a great honor and sign of respect for local history for the okc thunder to have named themselves after a local tribe rather than give themselves a shitty generic name like “thunder.”

the name “fighting irish,” which grew out of the caricature of the belligerent irish drunk, is actually much more offensive in nature, and “celtics" is also a somewhat offputting and purely “ethnic” name without any laudatory aspect, much like “redskins.” but nobody argues against these.

i think it’s very silly to undermine historical american institutions about which people care, and which really aren’t disrespectful (many of them explicitly laudatory), and which weren’t born out of disrespect, for the sake of popular moral crusades which don’t seem to have a strict and objective set of standards, just a lot of emotions for ethnic minorities / “people of color.” maybe that’s not why you’re arguing against these names but then i don’t think you have a good argument at all against names like “chiefs” and “braves” and “seminoles” – especially the latter, which isn’t even a caricature.

There is no detriment to the white race if we're not allowed to call a football team a name that is racially offensive to a significant portion of a racially distinct group of people who have many legitimate grievances with white civilization.

Just because college kids are made to read that doesn't mean it lacks value or insight. It's out of date but a full third of the posts ITT are baseless rants about how shitlibs are going to be empowered if they win the Redskins issue and that seems to be viewed as a legitimate reason for supporting 'Redskins.'

There is detriment. Everyone knows shitlibs will never be satisfied and will keep going to eliminate anything and everything they deem offensive. Changing Redskins name will just give them more confidence moving on to their next one.

I already addressed the silly nature of a paranoid slippery slope argument.

And anecdotally speaking, I know some very rock-ribbed conservatives who agree with me on this issue. Having respect for other cultures and rejecting racism is not inherently conservative and it's 110 IQ reddit territory to believe that defending the use of 'Redskins' is edgy+cool.

No, I actually have no patience for this. Nobody has a problem with caricatures of European cultures (even historically marginalized ones), and they're mostly okay with select other places like Japan too. At heart, the issue here is that YOU view Indians as some inferior group, so any remotely non-serious portrayal of them or their history is an offensive caricature that must be removed.

America mistreated the Indians, but guess what? Even 100 years ago this was widely regarded as a BAD THING. Using Indian imagery wasn't some kind of ridicule, it was a way of actually celebrating their heritage (which was uniquely American) and incorporating them into the cultural framework. This involved plenty of caricaturing and simplification, because that's what happens when a group is actually part of cultural discourse. To Americans in the first half of the 1900s, Indians were actually complex, interesting people: Dangerous warriors, unique cultures, both allies and enemies, and often sympathetic victims. People like you want to sterilize them into a morality play that nobody can ever portray or discuss except in the most serious light. And if you can't joke about or caricature Indians, they're culturally dead. Compare modern America to 80 years ago and American Indians have FAR less of a cultural presence, because we've decided that simply acknowledging their existence is, in most cases, too offensive.

"Nobody has a problem with caricatures of European cultures (even historically marginalized ones)"

Very silly. Context matters. The fact that any pro 'Redskins' argument has to scramble for a twisted explanation about how they sort of just passively accept it is very telling. And you can't really apply it to any other ethnic group and yet you're crying about 'European cultures' like this is all hinged on some broad and reasonable principle.

"YOU view Indians as some inferior group"

Not at all and nothing I have said should lead you to assume this. This is a borderline generic response to anyone who points a finger at racist attitudes. There are multiple other instances in this thread where you rail against the perceived paternalism and superiority of shitlibs rather than the argument I'm waging.

"non-serious portrayal of them or their history is an offensive caricature that must be removed."

Non-serious is BS minimizing of the issue. Seriousness doesn't matter. A sambo caricature is just as offensive as saying nigger and if you're honestly debating that then you should examine what is motivating you. I guarantee it's not a profound belief that acknowledging the dignity and equality of all ethnic groups is a clear benefit to civilization.

"Even 100 years ago this was widely regarded as a BAD THING. Using Indian imagery wasn't some kind of ridicule, it was a way of actually celebrating their heritage (which was uniquely American) and incorporating them into the cultural framework."

100 years ago you could put a sign in your window that said 'NO DOGS OR INDIANS WELCOME.' And people did it, everywhere. Society was openly hostile to First Nations people, and at we have become experts at burying this legacy with an 'unserious' treatment of them in modernity. You seem to be celebrating this uncomfortable compromise. But you're sadly in lunatic territory if you're going to point toward history as some great example of how we ought to regard indigenous people. I know from your interests and politics that you're prone to making this sort of argument, but stop and think about how you're going about this.

This is like the Stockholm syndrome Larry Kramer shit you see in the gay community where you have brain-damaged old gays suggesting that it's tragedy that 'queer culture' has been opened up to the masses by the sanitized Modern Family regard for gay people.

You're celebrating a potentially not accurate and fully condescending fetishism of tribal whoop whoop Indians as some sort of important cultural legacy that we're keeping alive with the 'Redskins.' That's shit, brother, and I would love to see you openly espouse this idea to a First Nations person who takes well informed pride in their ethnic identity and history.

If a term doesn't have a racist origin, and isn't used as a racist term now, now is it actually racist? This has the feeling of white libs being uncomfortable with any word that is archaic + racial. A lot of people complain about the word Negro in the same way even though it was never a slur.

Most black people will be taken aback and offended to some degree if a white person refers to them as a negro. It goes to respect and acknowledgement and I think would agree that healthy societies embrace those values.

The other argument you make boils down to your perspective. Some people do take it as a slur and it's racially sourced term from a period where First Nations people were treated awfully by a nation that has horrible, horrible history with them. That is undeniable. Just because you can characterize something one way, other facts are not irradiated. You have to deny the history I just mentioned to fully bite off on your argument.

Reasonable minds can disagree that it's unreasonable to call for change. First Nations people still feel the effects of racism. Without being openly hostile, we make light of their culture and history all the time. 'Redskins' was applied to the team when we had more regressive standards and awareness of these things. Society was openly racist in many ways. Doesn't mean we can't improve a little bit in the current era. And let's not act like the Redskins are some wonderful institution that exists beyond scrutiny.

Are you in Canada? First Nations isn't a term used in the US, so if you're American it seems like a really weird affectation, especially when you've been attempting to claim there is no overzealous PC movement.

That said:

1. How do we make light of their history or culture, let alone all the time? And no, I don't think a team name is enough to prove that.

2. What is actually wrong with making light of culture? Once again, you seem to be treating Indians as some sad morality play and not actual cultures with history and distinctive traits and imagery. Nobody minds making light of the Irish, or the Japanese, or the Egyptians, or the Russians. And no, I don't think there's a difference here, except that you've decided Indians are special and sacred.

http://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3574115&mc=98&forum_id=2

We constantly belittle indigenous culture. Chief Wahoo is tolerated. Tonto. A crying Indian in a head dress because somebody littered. There are many books about only this topic and I suspect you're playing dumb too some extent when you act mystified at the suggestion that Indians have been portrayed inaccurately in ways that rage from silly to outright negative.

Most of our depictions of them are crude, simplistic, cartoonish. You couldn't get away with the same thing with other dark skinned ethnic groups. The closest example is Apu from the Simpsons and the other gentle lampooning of model minorities, and they correctly get pissed off about it. If we agree to everything you're stating, then Redskins is no different than Fighting Irish. You know there is a difference and I don't have to spell it out for you.

Those are pretty weak examples of belittling. Chief Wahoo is literally just a cartoon logo. I guess is has exaggerated red skin...but how is that hateful? Cartoons have exaggerated features. You just sound terrified of anything that involves skin color, as if it's talismanic or something. Tonto is a heroic character who in some iterations speaks bad English (like you might expect a foreigner to). The crying Indian was literally in a position of moral superiority in that ad. That hardly seems like some vast record of belittling and humiliation.

Compare with, say, Family Guy's take on the Irish:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_lJbpVmyKgo

You completely ignore the history, both our history with Native Americans and our history of appropriating their images in disrespectful and offensive manner. As for Chief Wahoo, I guess you're really not playing dumb. If you can't even imagine how that rubs people the wrong way, then you're truly some kind of wide-eyed, unspoiled babe in the woods. The crying Indian has been singled out many times, by actual indigenous descendants, as a ridiculous depiction of a Native American that is born entirely from stereotyping.

Hardly. The page is mostly:

1. Simply repeating that a caricature is obviously evil (I've been asking you to explain why this is),

2. Listing orgs denouncing it as racist, and

3. Making comparisons to Little Black Sambo, which is another case of something being deemed racist simply because of its color and pretty much nothing else.

The only part that resonates a bit is the complaint that including a feather is blasphemous, but this actually generalizes specific tribal norms to all Indians without justification.

If you are arguing that something like a sambo is innocuous and just misunderstood then you are so much more unorthodox in this entire area than I thought. We're not going to agree on anything and your tone has increasingly suggested that you're taking the argument personally.

as i mentioned above there is a very good argument to be made that 'fighting irish' is much more offensive in nature than 'redskins.’ if you want to say that indians are more marginalized and therefore deserve greater protections than the irish then you can say that but don’t say that “you know there is a massive difference between fighting irish and redskin” while providing no rationale and insinuating that your rationale should be self-evident. you've effectively been doing that throughout this thread without addressing some of the more reasonable arguments coming from others.

in any case your burden to show that something is abhorrently “offensive” becomes much greater when you raise the standard from ‘redskins’ to ‘redskins’ plus ‘chiefs’ plus ‘seminoles.’ just keep that in mind. you can’t fall back on “redskin is a slur.”

That is fair.

On XO I usually avoid subthreads where the disagreement leads to some MAF poster DEMANDING that someone explain every single presumption and opinion they hold in painstaking detail.

It happens constantly on XO and it's an absurdly aspie means of arguing that never creates a coherent discussion. The DEMANDS for EXPLANATION of something that really doesn't require one started early ITT so I deliberately withheld to some degree. For some reason, angry bored guys debating on the internet feel they're entitled to whatever explanation they DEMAND and they substitute this for making their own statements and arguments. It's a crap interrogation style that I have weakly utilized as well, so I know how dumb it is. It's much easier to have your 'opponent' write a few hundred words and then pick at it with autism-spectrum obsessiveness over some imaginary cogency standard for opinions.

But anyway, there was a lot of hand waiving about the polls earlier. I also declined to really get into that but I did say that the polling doesn't matter to me that much. That is because I think the opinions of a vocal and informed minority of indigenous descendants is sufficient for not using 'Redskins.' And the leadership of many tribal organizations and advocacy groups are against it. They find it offensive, demeaning, regressive, and they don't want it. That's a good enough reason on its face. If it makes a significant number of the people it claims to depict feel unhappy, then fuck it, why are we protecting it?

The answer to that, of course, was FUCK LIBS and SLIPPERY SLOPE or YOU HAVE DOUBLE STANDARDS and of course EXPLAIN EXPLAIN EXPLAIN. Some of the pushback against changing the name is also a racist cypher from people who privately delight in the last few bastions of openly implicating race in society. Native Americans have been getting the worst of that bullshit for a while now. Depriving anyone of that outlet is worthy because it comes at the cost of dignity.

ok but saying that “there’s a difference between ‘fighting irish’ and ‘redskins’ and i don’t have to spell it out for you” is begging the question to some extent. that difference a major factor in this debate and you didn’t tell us whether the difference is in the ridiculousness of the caricature or the offense which people take to them, or something else. i gather that you’re arguing for some combination thereof but when i read this kind of argumentation it just makes me doubt the strength of your reasoning and whether we can have a debate in good faith. that's all.

as for “If it makes a significant number of the people it claims to depict feel unhappy, then fuck it, why are we protecting it?” i'll revert to what i said before, it’s an institution about which tens of millions of people care (really hundreds of millions since even fans of other teams have strong feelings about this) and which has been a non-negligible part of american culture for the better part of a century. it’s not just a case of dan snyder wanting to avoid the one-time restructuring cost and it’s not a case of hundreds of millions of closet racists holding onto one last bastion of old-school racism. and again the ‘redskins’ institution has evolved beyond the dictionary meaning of the word, and pretty much any american with any meaningful exposure to nfl football has an intuitive understanding of this, indians included. that's not to ignore claims that some find ‘redskins’ demeaning, but if it were as simple as “it hurts one group of people and does nothing to another group of people, so getting rid of it would be pareto efficient excepting dan snyder,” then there wouldn’t be a heated debate around the issue. there’s more than one side with something at stake.

from there we can hand-wring over how much we should weigh the claims of the offended, our distaste of the name ‘redskins’, etc. against the social value of the institution, but there’s no clean solution either way, even if you think that indians are clearly suffering more harm. that's why i brought up confederate street names / statues issue below. my general stance is that i can get why a black person would be upset about living near a statue of john calhoun, but a) the shared history and institutions of those areas are not worthless to locals, and b) it’s not my place to tell mobile, alabama how much those shared institutions are worth, or whether it can or cannot have certain statues. so if the local councils agree to keep the statues that’s up to them, and if people feel so strongly that they can’t put up with it then they can relocate to a region with a different history and culture, or which treats its legacy differently. it sucks for some people but most understand that, for those who want to keep it, it’s more about preserving local history than about preserving racism as such as a living force, b/c the historical institution and its importance to people today isn’t the same as what some of that stuff meant in 1850. keeping a confederate statue isn’t akin to preserving slavery or jim crow laws.

there's no immediately similar democratic process for making decisions over mascots but assuming that team owners are looking to maximize profits the decision still falls back on the sentiments of consumers of the nfl. and they’ll obviously overwhelmingly favor keeping the name b/c the fraction of nfl consumers who oppose is very small. but again, most football fans, indians included, understand that the symbol is a historical artifact that means something to people not as a racist symbol but as its own institution, and that that’s why people want to keep it, not out of a desire to preserve racism, because they don’t even wield it as a racist object to begin with – much like confederate street names today. it sucks for indians who don’t like it and who are conscious enough about nfl football to be annoyed by it but if they really don’t like it then they don’t have to watch. it would be a different story if this was a new team with no history adopting the name ‘redskins’ but if it were then the popular outcry, unchecked by a sense of historical context and social value, would be too overwhelming for it to last.

maybe you say that dan snyder is still god in this situation so it’s on him to weigh the racial offense to indians over the social value to other fans for moral reasons. but again it’s not an easy one-sided decision, and people understand the institution in historical context.

and again the scale would tip even further away from the opposition for names like “braves” which aren’t intrinsically offensive outside of the fact that they are caricatures, and even further for names like “seminoles" which many non-indians and indians see as a sign of respect.

I’ve been a redskins fan for 25 years and am a STH. Would be fine if they changed the name (and they probably should from a biz perspective — think of all the new merchandise!!). However, 90 percent of native Americans don’t mind the name. And a significant percentage of naive Americans actually would be upset if the name changed. This is from the WaPo poll 2 years or so ago.

No, because that policy isn’t really relevant to the poll. If a majority of all Americans thought that, then it probably would be fair to say that such policy would have more legitimacy, though it’d still be a dumb idea in my opinion.

Here, though, the issue is that the name is arguably offensive to a specific group. That the vast majority of that group does not in fact find the name offensive (and many actually like the name) is highly relavent to the issue.

Concern trolling aside, I get irate about this because it's so pigheaded. It doesn't matter if Indians are actually offended. It doesn't matter whether the term was a slur when it was coined (it wasn't). It doesn't matter whether it was meant as a slur when the team was created (it wasn't). And it doesn't matter whether the term is actually used as a slur now (have you ever seen an actual Indian called a redskin, negatively or otherwise? I have not). You've brushed aside all those questions as largely unimportant, and still insist the name must go, because you simply feel it's disrespectful. I'm entirely serious when I say that you seem to simply be uncomfortable with Indians having any casual presence in American culture. I find that really sad. The ability to have your heritage used for sport, or humor, or symbolism, or whatever, has bizarrely become a variant of white privilege, all because people insist on finding offense in everything.

It's not white privilege to say that the name and logo reduce First Nations people to caricature. This is offensive to some of them and makes their culture and history appear cartoonish.

I have probably spent more time around 'Indians' than most people posting in this thread. I have no problem with their presence in culture. Quite the opposite.

"It's not white privilege to say that the name and logo reduce First Nations people to caricature. This is offensive to some of them and makes their culture and history appear cartoonish."

So? Being caricatured is a part of having a real culture. Other cultures are caricatured all the time. The only problem is overly hurtful or hateful caricatures. You've just decided that for Indians almost any public portrayal is hurtful; in essence they're a special class of untouchables, and culturally dead as a result.

"I have probably spent more time around 'Indians' than most people posting in this thread. I have no problem with their presence in culture. Quite the opposite."

Bullshit. If you think a team being called the "Chiefs" is offensive, then you're simply uncomfortable with Indians having a cultural presence, at least one that isn't strictly controlled. And the end result of strict control is that they'll simply be absent, because they'll be sterile and boring. Indians are reduced to a museum piece.

You seem deliberate in your conflation of mere portrayal and caricature. The Redskins, the Braves, The Indians, all caricature that has very little to do with actual indigenous culture. It reduces a diverse and complex group of ancient cultures to our white societal rendering of all indigenous people as some monolithic 'Red Man' concept.

You're repeating yourself ad nauseam with the accusations about me being some conflicted racist or whatever you're alluding to. I have tried to refrain from letting this do the arguing for me, but I'll draw your attention to it here:

You know what else does that? Literally any team called the Knights. We have a stock image of knights that is simplified, caricatured, and monolithic which totally ignores huge variations between cultures. And it doesn't matter. There are plenty of other examples. Modern portrayals of Vikings are grossly inaccurate much of the time. Same goes for samurai, or Mongols, or Italians, or whatever. There's nothing wrong with simplified portrayals of things, as long as they aren't hateful.

I haven't been calling you a racist, if that's how you've been taking it. I've simply been pointing out the nature of your complaints. You are not demanding that Indians be treated the same as other groups (I.e. fairly). You're demanding they be treated DIFFERENTLY from other groups, and this demand, to me, seems rooted in an infantilization of Indians as a group.

Knights is not analogous. We're talking about a real and existing ethnic group. Under your explanation I'm a hypocrite because I'm fine with Cowboys but not Redskins.

The profound cultural detriments they face are almost exclusively self-inflicted.

If you and other gay shitlibs really cared about these people you would address the actual issues facing them. Drug/Alchy abuse, broken homes, domestic violence, etc. But no, you don't actually give a shit about them. You could literally have an aboriginal dood next door suffering from alcoholism and instead of trying to help him you would be furiously typing away at XO poasters about how we need to change a the name of a team because it could hurt peoples' feelings.

Libs opposition to the use of “redskin” or other Indian name uses the exact opposite logic of their opposition to schools using crusader as a mascot. With Indians, they say having an Indian mascot mocks Indian culture and minimizes it to a cheap trope at sporting events. Then they also oppose using crusader as a mascot because it celebrates crusading and may make Muslim/non Christian attendees feel uncomfortable.

I agree with the SCOTUS decision, by the way. And I think reasonable people can fall on either side of the line but ultimately there aren't any many strong arguments against rejecting the name. People like Mike Holmgren aren't exactly genderqueer shitlib activists when they share this position.

Thus the reason I didn't link that initially.

But the link also answers your question. PLENTY of Native American people don't like it and they find it offensive. We're steamrolling any consideration of that fact that many well informed stakeholders disagree with the using the name and image with these abstracts arguments that reduce to 'hey what's offensive even really mean anyway, man?'

Disagree with that. The only real evidence we have about what the larger native american community feels on the issue is based on the polling, and the overwhelming response has been that most of them don't care. 90% is a massive response on any issue. you'll never reach consensus on anything, but that's pretty close to it. I would hesitate to take the opinion of 'native american activists' as representative or authoritative because they have an incentive to blow up the issue to keep themselves relevant.

All of OP's arguments could be used to argue that the NAACP should change its name. I'm sure at least 10% of black people would be offended if a white person called them a "colored person," etc.

So you have no problem with the NAACP calling themselves that because they themselves are cool with it, and the analogy would be that it's no big deal if a Jew wants to call his own team by a Jew slur? But per your bleating ITT this would be a travesty because "heeb" is a racial term for a minority group with a history of being degraded and marginalized etc. How is "the NAACP is okay with calling themselves that" any different than "90% of Native Americans are cool with 'Redskins'"?

That was a joke brother, calm down. You're on the internet and nobody. This is a safe space.

Do you not see any difference between the two? One is an old-fashioned term selected by people advocating for themselves that has since come to be viewed negatively. They have their reasons for not changing it but many people disagree. Google it.

The Redskins are a pro sports team with no actual affiliation or connection with any indigenous cultures. They're taking a broadly stylized depiction of that culture and name that some members of that culture and ethnic group find troubling. The team uses the depiction and name to produce profits through their brand. It's not the same.

"One is an old-fashioned term selected by people advocating for themselves that has since come to be viewed negatively."

Redskin is also an old-fashioned term that wasn't considered offensive at the time but has since come to be viewed negatively. What does it matter who picked it? Some black leaders picked it, therefore we should assume most blacks are okay with it? Your whole argument ITT is that most members of a group being okay with it (c.f. the "90% of natives" polls) is not good enough.

Why does having an affiliation with that culture make a difference? Suppose Dan Snyder and every single Redskins player and employee were all Native Americans themselves. All your arguments would apply just as forcefully: "It's wrong to name a team after an archaic ethnic term, a sizable number of the group doesn't like it, etc." Unless you think Snyder et al. being Native would suddenly reduce the percentage of Natives offended by it from 10% down to whatever completely arbitrary percentage that would mean it's no longer necessary to change the name?

What percentage of black people being offended by the name "NAACP" would cause you to take the same stance on the NAACP changing its name as you do for the Redskins?

"The team uses the depiction and name to produce profits through their brand. It's not the same."

So what? What, like ethnic groups have a collectively held copyright on stuff associated with their culture and anyone profiting off that stuff owes them royalties, or something?

I think the masses side against me. But I also didn't think I needed to make out the case that it's different than other mascots and names, or that it has a recognized offensive dimension.

It was extremely angry and IR8 posters who demanded that I somehow lay out the entire argument for both sides rather than state their opinions.

It's offensive because it portrays a diverse group of cultures with rich individual histories as a cartoonish simplification of their skin color that was created by white people and this is in the context of cultural genocide perpetrated by the same wealthy white interests that profit form the team and control the NFL. Agree with it or not, that captures most of the arguments.

A lot of ink has been spilled over this topic but there are posters in here who seem to regard the issue as some kind of shitlib blogger fantasy rather than a legitimate public debate. And yes I just teed up a great WaPo joke for somebody.
