This is great Reverse discrimination? Since an intramural basketball team at Northern Colorado began calling itself the "Fighting Whites" last month in order to call attention to racial stereotyping involved with schools that have ethnic mascots, the students -- some of whom are Native American -- have sold more than $25,000 worth in merchandise, said team member Jeff VanIwarden. The logo, which features a caucasian man in a suit and tie with the slogan "Every thang's gonna to be all white!" has become quite popular. Baseball jerseys, tanktops and sweatshirts can be ordered on the team's recently launched Web site. VanIwarden said the money collected will go either to a Native American scholarship fund or help defray costs for a high school that decides to change its nickname to become politically correct. fightingwhites.org
