Why is it that nothing seams to be offensive when it comes to Indians? I find it as offensive as calling an African American the N word or a Mexican American a speck. What is offensive to one race is surely offensive to all races why not ask the Indians what they think? Bet you'd get a different vote percentage. I feel what is good for one race should be good for all races. We need to respect each other regardless of race, we are all one race of human beings time we realize that.

when did every one become so thin skined? i remember the fredio bandito comercial taken off because it offended the mexicans, why/ i thought it was cute. the Indians/native americans have suffred much by our actions in the past ,that was then this is now, i refuse to be blamed for what a fore father did or did not do. i am responcible for how i treat others not as some one back in the day did, am i to hate relitives that now live in the south? or relitives that might be biracial? its true we are all of the human family ,but there will always be those who think they are better then another, thats how we got death camps in WW2. thing is you can let it go or sit around and whine about it , i say a team called the warriors to be a correct idenity of what they use to be, red skins is thier color whats wrong with a little pride in ones color after all we have Black history month, why not Indian hearatage month or white month or brown month? why wory abouut this when there are real problems in the world/
