There is no such thing as negatively “appropriating a culture”.
Totally made up. The left doesn’t want non whites to be part of our culture, so they can keep them alienated.
To appropriate means to take something that belongs to someone else for your own use thereby depriving them of it.
You can not appropriate a culture as they do not have owners, only followers.
So the answer is no.
Now buzz off you annoying little crustacean.
Don’t forget about the Super Bowl Champs...KC Chiefs...but they are ok I guess because they have taylor swift.
So what??????
Geez, people just feel the need to be perpetually offended these days, don’t they?
To paraphrase the pharaoh from The Ten Commandments "Let the names of American Indians be stricken from every book and tablet, stricken from all pylons and obelisks, stricken from every monument of America. Let the names of American Indians be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of men for all time."
Most of the names are there for history or respect. If you don't want that then you will get nothing.
Toureg - named after a tribe where men wear the veils.
“Introducing the all-new, 2024 Ford Dindu Nuffin. It’s a steal!”

If he can't get the basic facts straight, what else is wrong with this article?
I’d guess most native Americans are happy to have associations with sports teams, automobiles, etc. Those names are designed to promote strength, toughness and endurance.
The objectors are a small group of agitators trying to gain attention sympathy (and a payoff,) and are sought out by the media to promote the narrative.
I thought Winnebago was where they were built.
I have a car that’s named after the first book of the Bible. I suppose I should be offended but for some strange reason I’m not.
I wonder how well the Chevy “Caucasian” would sell.
The proper response is SO WHAT?
I’m Scotch, English, Irish and German.
I don’t have a problem with anyone “appropriating” my heritage.
I welcome ethnic jokes on the stereotypes. They’re funny!
I’m me, and I didn’t have any choice in the matter.
Why are people so hung up on this this cr@p?
You’re you. Lighten up, have some fun, and do the best you can!
“ Are automakers using tribal names honoring those people or appropriated their culture?”
Because Indians had so many automobiles.
Apparently, our economy needs to get even WORSE before people stop indulging in this silliness.
Chuck Hoskins Jr, shame on you!
