(Lord have mercy, I hope this is a troll).

Why can't you believe that? Look at the the way Native American's are used as team mascots-Redskins, Braves, Warriors, Indians, etc. Why is that acceptable to people? It doesn't honor Native American people. It saddens and disgusts the Native American's that I know, yet it is still accepted. If there was a team of the San Antonio Spics, or the New York Negroes, there would be a hug outcry. Yet not for Native Americans, so no, I am not surprised.

ETA-just wanted to clarify my post, as I don't think I said things very succinctly. As the mom of a Native American son, I see a lot of racism that is still acceptable to most people, so to me, even though people should know otherwise, sadly I wasn't surprised.
