"Your name is offensive to minority group A, and has been for decades."
"Okay, we're deeply sorry and we will change the name. Out of respect to minority group A, we have decided to change the name of the team to something that honors minority group B. You're welcome."

1975- St. Bonaventure University drops the name Brown Squaws for its women's teams when, as one former player put it, "a Seneca chief and clan mothers came over from the reservation and asked us to stop using the name, because it meant vagina." Seventeen years later, men's and women's team names are officially changed from the Brown Indians to the Bonnies.
Agree with you point, but it's important to point out that the USA never glorified any of that, while guilty of some of it. Frontier life was never easy, nor simple. Life and death decisions were an almost daily occurrence for many. It's difficult for modern Americans to comprehend such a life, much less excuse it. There exists a gross lack of perspective amongst both the teachers, and the taught.MouthBQ98 said:

Couple of thoughts.
I would be curious to see how actual native American feel about this. I remember the last tiem this kicked up there will polls showing natives against a chance like 85-15. I bet, after teaching victim hood for a generation that has changed a bit.
But it doesnt really matter. This has nothing to do with race in the end. That's not the left's end game.
