Soooooo, from what I can gather, native Americans aren't offended over it but other people are offended for them.
The -blam!- is happening to the world.

The majority of them don't care

As a member of the Cherokee tribe, I have never heard anyone complain about it and I live in Oklahoma where you can't throw a rock without hitting someone with an "Indian" card.

Just because you and people you know aren’t offended doesn’t mean [i]all[/i] native Americans aren’t offended. Obviously many native Americans were offended by it: https://www.voanews.com/amp/native-americans-applaud-removal-of-offensive-sports-mascot/4230122.html http://amp.sacbee.com/sports/mlb/article197424024.html http://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4509372

Many is a stretch.

How do you know “many is a stretch”? How do you know the opinions of all Native American people? Have you done a survey? I’m white and I wouldn’t have a clue about the opinions of most white people I know. You are making an assumption about the views of [i]all[/i] native Americans based upon your own opinion and the opinion of friends and family around you. I wouldn’t know how many white people oppose this logo. How can you possibly know how many native Americans oppose it?

I work in a high traffic business that quite often goes political, I hear all sorts of opinions. Almost all Native Americans talk about the piss poor medical the tribes supply and how easy it is to fall through the cracks than being offended over an old caricature. There are much more important thing we have to deal with.

I’m sure there is. But you don’t know the opinions of all native Americans and you don’t speak for them. I would never claim to know the minds of all whites people.

One? What article were you reading? It says “Native American groups” - as in plural (i.e. more than one): [quote][b]Native American groups[/b] have protested the Indians’ grinning, red-faced logo for years, but the cries for change are only growing in volume... [b]Many Native Americans[/b] have been averse to most all sports nicknames using tribal names in recent decades[/quote]

[quote]there were about 50 protestors[/quote]
-
And your point is? Your original statement was: [quote]native Americans aren't offended over it[/quote] I’m saying that’s obviously not true if Native American groups have been protesting against it for decades. Just because 50 people showed up at this particular rally doesn’t mean they are the [i]only[/i] native Americans in the whole country who are offended by it. I don’t know exactly how many are offended and how many aren’t but the point is many native Americans don’t like it. Your claim that all native Americans are fine with it is a completely bogus assumption on your part with no evidence to back it up.
