Survey on Redskins team name found most American Indians believe it to be offensive and racist.
The Center for Indigenous Peoples Studies at California State University, San Bernardino has conducted
a study on racial and ethnic perspectives on the team name Redskins and associated issues, and found
that the large majority of American Indians, when properly identified and polled, find the team name
offensive, disrespectful and racist.
The first question on the survey tells the basic story:
The Redskins team name is a racial or racist word and symbol.
American Indians were 67 % in agreement, 12 % were neutral and 20 % disagreed with the statement.
Other ethnic groups are spread across the three major categories of seeing the term Redskins as racist,
as neutral, or disagreeing in seeing Redskins as racially offensive. Whites were 33% in agreement, 26%
neutral, and 41% disagreed the term was racial, generally the reverse of American Indian responses.
The neutral category played a significant role for whites in allowing them to not be seen as “racist” –
upon further analysis more than 60% of whites reject the term Redskins as racist, while more than 60%
of Indians see the term Redskins as racist.

WashPo survey asked 5x the people and didn't ask a leading question.

verified vs self identified, is a key difference

400 vs 98

Also- it made the statement - and then asked agree or disagree

the more interesting thing is the breakdown in opinion between native americans and  "whites"

I don't get the whole thing.
Has there ever been a study to see if Native Americans actually find it offensive?

Everyone's harping on the Redskins now, but the WashPo poll shows that only 9% find it offensive:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/new-poll-finds-9-in-10-native-americans-arent-offended-by-redskins-name/2016/05/18/3ea11cfa-161a-11e6-924d-838753295f9a_story.html?utm_term=.a8812b89b2e8

We're just changing tradition now because the left says we have to rather than seeing if something is actually offensive?
Why is it ok to offend even 9% of native americans for something as stupid as a team name? Serious question.

If they don't like it they don't need to watch. Let the market decide. nobody has a right to not be offended.

In other news, the Washington Redskins have announced that they're officially changing their name.

From now on they'll be called just the Redskins, as to not associate with a slaveholder.

Just wait until PETA starts calling for an end to animal nicknames. We can all pick a color to root for.
