Chief Wahoo is not one of them.</quote> Exactly. No one complains about the Atlanta Braves, or the Chicago Blackhawks, or the Kansas City Chiefs, or the Florida State Seminoles, and so on... Only the Cleveland Indians (for their logo being a cartoonish caricature of an entire race) and the Washington Redskins (for the name being a slur directly referring to the color of their skin) have people criticizing them, and the Indians just solved their problem.</quote> Not only that, but I remember this came up in class a lot of and one guy made the excellent point that Braves, Blackhawks, and Chiefs are all occupations/warriors/etc, which makes them more like saying the Spartans or the Knights than anyone tribe or race. Seriously, though, why the fuck are people defending the racist as fuck logo nowadays? We are routinely inundated with funny lists of incredibly racist old-timey ads that everyone points at as a hilarious representation of how stupid our advertising was, and yet the Indians are A-OK.</quote> Racist is when someone puts down another race or acts superior, the logo does neither</quote> Making someone into a goofy cartoon based on a bunch of perceived stereotypes isn't putting them down? Also, you seem to be ignoring the fact that First Nations/Aboriginal/Native American groups have outright stated they are offended, so stop hiding behind the 'only white people are mad so it's not racist' thing.</quote> ...

It offends way too many white people and we cant have that so removing this logo is the right thing to do. Funny, I seem to recall a lot of Aboriginal people being offended by it too, not to mention the Aboriginal people I've spoken to myself and the communities that have been outspoken about it in the news for years now.
