I'm part Oglala Lakota Sioux. My high school mascot was the Indian [which was pictured as a native American, not a person from India]. I always thought it was stupid and ignorant to label our school's sports teams as being from India while portraying someone from America.
Then I went to college and all of the liberals started preaching about cultural appropriation, and I got a little bit offended, but I got over it fast.
It's okay to have the Washington Redskins, but if we had the New York Negros or the Southside Chicago Brown Boys or the Westchester White Folks, I think people would get pissed off.
