so since a dictionary (written by a white guy) claims its offensive then its offensive?

You don't seem to understand how dictionaries are compiled and how definitions are determined. I admit that I don't know everything about the process, but you seem not to have put any thought whatsoever to how it is done.

the opinion of those whom are supposed to be offended isnt relevant in this case?

You're trying to have an argument in which I am not a participant.

The question in the OP was "Big stink over Redksins, they why are Edmonton Eskimos OK?"

The answer is that "Redskins," according to every English dictionary I've seen, is a slur and that "Eskimos" is not.

I only answered a question. Why a high school here and there uses the word doesn't concern or particularly interest me. If you're curious as to their reasons for using the word, you should ask them and not me.
