It is a big problem here where I live trying to get people to see why it’s offensive.They see no harm in it.I saw a couple of Arabic guys the other day with Redskins caps on.Blacks,whites,asians, noone seems to see anything wrong with it.I personally do find it offensive,and even now I am thinking of what to tell my 2 year old son when he gets older and asks me why Indian people are used as ball team mascots.Even when you tell people to put thier race in the place of Indian people as a mascot and see how stupid it sounds they still are insensitive to the fact that it IS offensive.Check out http://www.iwchildren.org for the history of the word and it’s racist background.
