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.
