these folks have really made a good point ... the "outrage" over Indian mascots is a made-up racial grievance ...
To: mille99
I like it too, and the slogan is kind of catchy.
Haven't these kids heard about the Celtics, the Spartans, the Crusaders and the Vikings?

Obviously they've never heard of the Fighting Irish. Or maybe they think that Irish aren't really white.
Anyone have a picture of the logo?

Great point, one that I hadn't thought of. OK, FReepers, any other white-based mascots out there?
To: mille99
"The Fighting Whities".....I like it! Tell me again why we're supposed to be offended?
Sounds like a blast. Maybe they should have used "Honkey victims" and had a white person being mugged.

I believe the LaSalle "Explorers" would also qualify. Wasn't LaSalle a French explorer?

"The message is, let's do something that will let people see the other side of what it's like to be a mascot," Little Owl said. "I am really offended by this mascot issue, and I hope the people that support the Eaton mascot will get offended by this." LOL LOL is anyone here offended? Well I guess some liberal may pretend to be offended to help them make their point..Personally I like it! White men may not be able to jump..but they can fight a Revolutionary war and a Civil war This seems a compliment to me. White men do fight for what they believe in..they do not whine !

Perhaps Mr. White Owl, ought to check out the BOSTON CELTICS or the NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH!Those logos feature white guys, yet nobody is wetting the beds over this. As for living in a politically correct society, the concept should've died on Sept 11th. No Mr. White Owl, PC is a fraud, and you are being played like a grand piano.

Count me in. I like it too.
To: real saxophonist
I am so outraged. I am truly vexed. And hopping mad.
What were we talking about again?
"It puts people in our shoes, and then we can say, 'Now you know how it is, and now you can make a judgement.' "
Well, yeah. Maybe the members of this team will learn a lesson when huge mobs of white people fail to protest.
To: real saxophonist
The players, made up of a mixture of American Indian, Hispanic and caucasian students, wear white jerseys with the picture of a white man in a suit on the front and the slogan "Every thang's gonna be all white!" printed beneath. If they really wanted to strike fear into the hearts of their opponents they should have made them white lawyers.
