Clearly I was being hyperbolic, but I felt it was necessary with some obvious points being ignored.
I agree with you, and honestly don't know much about the level of backlash against the Seminole mascot. I live in Ohio, not Florida. Obviously, the Seminole nation does not have to agree with every decision their Chief makes. If the outcry is large enough, yes, I'd agree they should get rid of it. However, with the blessing of the Chief, and a majority of the nation, I don't see any problem with keeping it.
The problem with Chief Wahoo is 1) it's a caricature, and 2) the term Indian is an ignorant slang term.
I apologize for the hyperbolic nature of my previous post, but I'm truly baffled by the people who try to equate Chief Wahoo with the Fighting Irish, or try to claim there's nothing racist about a Red Sambo.
