Redskins isn't a racist term. What is the argument against it?

BTW, more than one NA"activist" has said ALL the above names are racist. So where is the line between what is racist and isn't? And does it stop at NA names, or do we consider other names NFL teams use?

Consider yourself educated on this, giantone:

Amanda Blackhorse : I personally believe that all use of Native-themed mascots and team names are inappropriate.

National Congress of American Indians:The report NCAI has released today provides the history of an overwhelming movement to end the era of harmful “Indian” mascots – including the fact that Native peoples have fought these mascots since 1963 and no professional sports team has established a new ‘Indian’ mascot since 1964.

John Two-Hawks: How 'Indian' mascots oppress

Nevermind most NAs, and most other Americans, don't consider the name "Redskins" offensive.

So if you think the people protesting the name are right, guess the KC Chiefs, Florida Seminoles, and everybody else is next.

Using the logic, well the press thinks it's offensive now: 10 Frightening Ways We Discriminate Against Fat People, Sizism. Didn't intend the name NY Giants to be discriminatory? Too bad.

Knowing that you learned something that's common knowledge, isn't educational. OTOH, our agreement on this ought to be a slam dunk argument, for anyone reading these boards, lol.
