A Pennsylvania university is searching for a new mascot and nickname to replace its longtime “Crusaders” moniker, which the school says is “at odds” with its “values and commitment to diversity and inclusiveness.”

Susquehanna University is asking people to submit their top choices for a replacement by Jan. 25. The top contenders — which might include the Bobcats or River Otters — will then be submitted to the university president, who will in turn present them to the school’s board of trustees.

"Bobcat" is exclusionary. It triggers feelings of inferiority in cats with long tails. "Differently Tailed Cat" is the preferred, non-microaggression term.

Your uncle was probably an old white guy who deserved what he got; "Angus" is, after all, the name of a breed of "Slave Animals." Stop compounding the problem with your Human Privilege.

LOL. The sad part is that in a couple of years your off-the-wall humorous commentary will be considered mainstream thinking.

I was going to post, “How about the Susquehanna Dhimmis”, but I figured that if I scrolled down I’d find someone already had.
