if you used google to find that study you had to omit several entries of studies that found the exact opposite.


Right, but those studies came under criticism because they did not verify that the people surveyed were actually native americans.

This is the study that the Redskins organization refereed to along with CBS and other sports stations:

apparently a lot of it has to do with where the tribe is from



Didn't you just try to argue against that point?

there are multiple polls with multiple results. its also not surprising that a group with an opposing view would attack the methodology when they dont like the results.

not at all. i compared native americans to other minorities that are from different places and have different views - you dont think all hispanics are the same do you? turns out not everything south of texas and north of brazil is called "mexico". shocking, i know.
regardless of their differences though, blacks and Hispanics basically universally view certain terms as racist and should only be used (if ever) by friends. certainly never in a official or semi official environment.
the same cannot be said about Redskins. it simply cant, no matter how much some white folks want it to be.
