There's already plenty of teams with various types of white people as mascots

Fighting Irish
Demon Deacons
Rebels
Buccaneers/ Pirates
Patriots
Cornhuskers
Mountaineers
etc..

Some of those are offensive stereotypes but nobody cares about that

Ummm, you realize a black/asian/indian person can be a cornhusker, or a pirate, or a mountaineer etc etc. Those actually have nothing to do with race


Now, I hate the PC crowd I was just pointing out the differences in your post

Kind of clever to avoid the Ole Miss nickname (Which some OM fans are hellbent on telling you the actual history of Reb). I feel like OM get's a pass on them being racist because everyone loves beating that deadhorse.

I'll never forget when Spencer Hall made fun of the recruitment of Laquen Treadwell to OM. "How the hell did a kid from the southside of Chicago end up in Oxford? Because every kid growing up in Chicago is born whistling Dixie and wanting to be a rebel."
