I'm Ukrainian
Somehow I survived the '70's (and the hundreds of Ukrainian jokes) without trauma.....orrrrr did I? :thinking-006: |

I'm not sure anybody can make the argument that Chief Wahoo isn't racist. |

Wrestling....now there's where some stereotypes come out to play. Was Iron Sheik really made of Iron? Was Big Bad Bobby Duncan really a cowboy? They should pull every copy of Slapshot off the shelves unless they re edit the movie to not call the team the 'Chiefs". |
Also...my son plays lacrosse for a team called the Warriors.
Their logo is an "indian head" with crossed spears. A "Warrior". The kids love their name because it makes them feel bada**. I think that is more respectful than demeaning or exploiting. |
If we took every single thing that some person was offended with and banned it we would have nothing left. Where do we draw the line?

Really the only thing that offends me are those who refuse to open their mind or look at things from anothers perspective. |
I remember about 15 or 20 years ago a newspaper writer did an article up here about how offensive the term"Newfy" was and how it made them look like uneducated and unintelligent people .
I asked my partner at work about it and he said point blank "Lard Thunderin' ! Ya shoulda seen de mess when de ol' girl saw dat Yahoo down at de Newfy club and climbed aboarda him- danged Towny anyhow":sHa_sarcasticlol: Cat |

It is amazing (to me) that some people can scream from the highest tower about rights and freedoms and society's abuses, yet quickly become judge, jury and executioner should somebody disagree with their viewpoint, quickly labeling such a person "close-minded", "racist", "bigot", "denier" etc. The hypocrisy would be laughable if it weren't so widespread |

The Quote BTW is directly from my friend who I have the highest respect for, has served our Country as an artillery soldier and is book educated as well. As a ticked tradesman!:) Cat |

There's a big difference between not agreeing with someone's perspective and being closed minded and refusing to listen to it. If someone decides it's ridiculous for individuals to be offended by Chief Wahoo or the name Indians and doesn't look into the name or put any thought into it beyond how they feel about it I'm comfortable labeling them as closed minded. I know plenty of natIves who think it's incredibly racist. They think the Redskins is the worst. I gotta say their opion is the most valid I've heard on the subject. |

Good luck! We start Nov 1 my oldest is 12 this year so it's a special year for us .. |
My kids & myself have been labelled any number of names over the years, all of which referred to our German heritage. Call me what you want, I could really give a rat's patoot, just don't call me late for schnitzel, spaetzle, saurkraut and beer for supper!!!!!:bad_boys_20:

This whole Indian Logo crap is just more Liberal-Tard stupidity trying to push us all into a absolutely Politically Correct World which the morons are too stupid to realise will never work and that no-one but them wants.

He wont approve anything the the church has been stuck for years. Im surprised the rich sob hasn't said something about all the election promises trudeau broke to Natives.. That might be worth mentioning. This just gets his idiotic name in the press again! |
This thread made me think of the things which offend me. "Beaners" hair cuts for kids is using a racist slur applicable to people of Latin American background as their name! A Mexican co-worker of mine was shocked to see it! Down with Beaners! It's definitely the right time to round up a posse and teach those hair cutting bigots a lesson. I'm kidding of course ;)
