I'm pretty sure I dont have any 'ilk'.
I dont understand how the facts are against me. I showed virtually every dictionary definition I could find says the word is 'offensive'. Thats a fact.
I made a comparison with the name "chinks", which got your undies in a bunch, but I noticed no one stood up for the poor people of Pekin who just wanted their Chinks moniker to stay. Do you think the 'Chinks' is an appropriate high school team name, or do you think the damn PC police are too hard on Pekin?
And the argument has been made by Verax that the intention of the name is irrelevant, and that Native American organizations that provide a voice for NA's have condemned the name.
As I said before,
I'm OK with the name as long as they change the mascot to a basket of mashed potatoes.
