Same thing happened to a little high school in my neck of the woods. I guess "Chieftains" was insulting. Insulting. Chieftains. Really? Morons. I hate racist bastards, too. Dear Lord forgive me for hating, but I'm amazed these idiots are smart enough to breath. The self-appointed political correctness police are the worst self-loathing racist bastards in the U. S. of A.

In addition to the UND Fighting Sioux, was the Grand Forks (ND) Central High School Redskins, who surrendered to PC, and now they are the Grand Forks Central Knights. No one says anything about the Fargo (ND) North Spartans, which I think is racist against Greeks. Then, there is the Minnesota Vikings, which is racist against the people of Northern Europe. Then there is the Boston Celtics, which is racist against early British. I know, I know, Greeks, Europeans and Brits are essentially white people, and we all know it is ok to be racist against white people, we just can’t be racist against POC. Now, my Chicago Blackhawks, were named after one specific person, Chief Blackhawk, so only his descendants can claim racism, but I don’t think they have. Maybe they were all killed off in tribal warfare, I don’t know. I still hate racists.
