I say lets get rid of all the spanish names in california. For street names, city names, etc. I am sure they are highly offensive to spanish speaking peoples everywhere

There must be a parallel universe out there where no sports teams are named after Indians.....and the Indians are screaming racism because they are not recognized by the sports teams.

I once wanted to be politically correct so I referred to an Indian as a "Native American." He gave me a strange look and said that term was only used by dopey white liberals. He then told me that Indians refer to each other as.....Indians.

If the Republicans were a real political party, they'd jump on this issue to show how the 'RATs are totalitarian and out of touch. This would be perfect to bring the soccer moms on board. Do they want their school mascots changed? Noooooo!

You could also accuse the 'RATs of racism for wanting to expunge Indian names and role-models from our culture.

Oh well, here in Washington State we had to get rid of the two names "Squaw Tit Mountain" and "Nigger Head Rock," among others that were thought to offend.
