"The names "Redskins", "Braves", "Indians", etc. are tributes to the Native Americans and were never meant to be derogatory." Which is why you'll name your kid's T-ball team the Koreatown Gooks?

>The names "Redskins", "Braves", "Indians", etc. are tributes to the Native Americans and were never meant to be derogatory. They weren't tributes. Back when they were named, they were supposed to be represent strong, scary figures like "Pirates" or "Devils." Americans killed 98% of them. It's offensive. -Z
