I don't think a Redskin is overly derogatory. There are plenty of other things in this world we should be getting our panties in wads about. Not the Washington Redskins.

Were they a louder economic voice, the name would have been changed 50 years ago.

And this raises an excellent point. There are names out there that do, in some way, stereotype a particular race/ethnic group. The poster above comically referred to the "Fighting Irish". It is a great point.
However, I think you have to go beyond the name. What was the oppression? How long did it last? These factors are important for the analysis.
Personally, I find the name "Redskins" to be overly derogatory and incredibly inappropriate.
Great discussion, AJF. It's better than you just bitching about "Obama's America".
