Race & Ethnicity

so much the better. Obviously the original name never should have been used in the first place, but it was given at a time, the '30s, when racism was even more overt and accepted than it is now. It had become controversial as long ago as the '60s when Native American groups started protesting mascots based on Native images. "Redskin" is listed as an offensive slur in dictionaries, but Trump and his white supremacist pals are fine with offensive slurs. I don't think it would bother him in the least if the team called itself "the Washington N*****s."
