About 20 years ago, the San Diego State Aztecs had a mascot (a young buffed male student dressed in Aztec warrior garb, named Monty Montezuma. Then either two or three cry bullies came forward who said they were Latino and the existence of the mascot hurt their feelings. The university did a poll which that out of a school population of 27,000 only three or four students minded Monty. At least three thousand students responded that they like the mascot. Three cry bullies was enough to cancel him.
In a borderline brilliant move, the school authorized a new mascot named the Aztec Ambassador, who looked like and dressed almost identically to Monty.
