"Only" was hyperbole...I should not have said only. Of course you can find anecdotal stories about certain American Indians being offended by the name. However, I have yet to see a survey / study or poll that shows a significant number of that population finds the name offensive. Just the same, you can find anecdotal stories of American Indians that love the name and would be offended if it were changed...saw one on the news last night. If any thing, there have been several studies and polls that have shown a significant majority of American Indians have no problem with the name. That being said, if a group of people are told long and loud enough that they should be offended they eventually will be offended.
Wow, this is extremely condescending.
And extremely fucking stupid. The reality is that you have a majority of people saying that the name honors native americans. So how does a minority population become offended when all they ever hear is that the name honors their people?
