Why don't they just make fun of American heritage with a cartoonish character of their own? Oh wait...
I agree. Still can't tell why Tonto is upset. At least he doesn't look like his grinning idiot of a major league cousin. This one doesn't look accurate as Indians never smile. They have no reason to, except for listerine.
Totally a good idea, cause you know, changing the name of the Washington Bullets to the Wizards totally reduced incidents of violent crime in DC.... oh wait... For srs though, they should be glad, besides being having a pretty respectable logo compared to other teams (as has been pointed out) I can guarantee that people will only end up caring even less about native americans if they do change the name. It gets them a level of constant publicity by just keeping the idea that they still exist in people's minds, especially since it's already a major complaint that so few people give a fuck about them anymore.
Ah, the debate about the logo of a football team showing a stereotype. The local high school uses a similar design. Some bitch had to remove anything with that logo or the Native Americans would of been offended. You know what? Fuck that, if I want to offend you, deal with it. Don't bitch and whine, stereotypes are just fine.
How 'bout instead of stupid charactertures, we complain about how out of hundreds of congresspeople; there are approximately three Amerindian congresspeople.
