I can’t speak for all of Caucasia but I’m not offended.
The problem with the football teams is that usually the name of team is the name of a group of ppl that was almost exterminated and their descendants still pay the price and nobody cares while their name is used as something cool. Just using the name should not be that offensive.
Except redskins is offensive. It’s not the name of a group of people, it’s an epithet describing them.
New poll finds 9 in 10 Native Americans aren’t offended by Redskins name
It’s offensive to gen z victim mentality complex people who want to define themselves through misery.
Me either, but it’s actually meant to be offensive whereas Caucasians is just a classification.
You would be if they had stolen your home and pranced around in a caricature costume of you through the stadium they built after bulldozing your land
I’m all for it. I want the mascot to be just a normal guy named “Steve.” It’s just some white guy in a cardigan. His catch phrase is “Hi, I’m Steve, nice to meet you.”
When the players score a touchdown, the fans all chant “Hi, I’m Steve.” The customary celebration is for the player to mime a normal handshake.
Should go harder IMHO. This ad from the National Congress of American Indians does a good job.
Yeah the only issue here is “Caucasians” is roughly similar in emotional weight to “native Americans.”
Shirt should say like, “crackers” or something
Even that word has no pull nowadays. I don’t know any white people that are even bothered by it in the least. I am one half Caucasian and I know for sure that it has no affect at all on me. I think it’s a kind of funny word, actually. We need something with more spice to it for sure. Mayo monkies? Snow roaches? Marshmallow minions?
Cracker doesn’t even have enough contextual weight. Whitey is about as heavy as I can think of and even that doesn’t carry much weight for the people it should.
Source: I’m literally whiter than Casper the friendly ghost, and I actually care. The Americans I’m talking about just don’t care.
