Now go back and take your beating in the "funny" thread like a man, Andrea.

Hyperbole much?Mvemjsunpx wrote:I'm sure most people aren't offended by the nickname, but let's not pretend that keeping the name is somehow a good idea. The vast majority aren't offended by the word "retard," but calling a professional sports team "The Retards" would be just, well, retarded. Staying with "Redskins" makes the franchise look stupid, antiquated, & unprofessional.

Do the majority of Natives GAF? Probably not. But from my experience, it is more than 10% who do. And these are real Natives, not someone who claims Native blood because their great-grandma was supposedly a Cherokee Princess but has never stepped foot on a reservation.
So you bend over backwards to support any person who "self-identifies" as black, gay, transgender, etc., etc., etc....but somehow because these folks self-identified as Indian it's suddenly a flawed poll?dbackjon wrote:The fact that they polled "self-identified" Native Americans shows that this is a flawed poll.

Can't have it both ways, Jon.
Self identifying as a race is completely different. It's like the white chick in Spokane claiming to be black. Nothing like someone self identifying as gay.AZGrizFan wrote:So you bend over backwards to support any person who "self-identifies" as black, gay, transgender, etc., etc., etc....but somehow because these folks self-identified as Indian it's suddenly a flawed poll?dbackjon wrote:The fact that they polled "self-identified" Native Americans shows that this is a flawed poll.
