just like the Redskins thing going on now. It's not derogatory in any way.
No, it is not derogatory to you in anyway. I am not a sensitive guy at all, but to say it is no way derogatory is just stupid and blind, i'm sorry.
I'm sure there are many Native Americans who do not care, but then again I am sure there are many who do care.

Asians that I know flat out don't care what you think of them or their culture.
Not true, Asians very much so care about their culture, I've known many.
quote:
They are a proud and loyal group who remains true to their roots, something we seriously lack in the US.
What?

The only Asians or Chinese people that I could imagine making a fuss of this are the younger generation who were born in the US and have become Americanized to the point that they are completely out of touch with their own culture.
Holy shite, okay I get it now. You are nuts!

Its typically more derogatory to the white Anglo-Saxon apologist. AKA Pussy.
Just look at the high schools Indian reservations and take notice of their school mascots.
Red Mesa High School in Zona 99.3% Navajo = Redskins
Tecumseh High School mascot is the Savages. A HS in Oklahoma made up of Sac and Fox, Iowa, Kickapoo, Shawnee and Potawatomi.
But I guess that they understand that its a thing of respect and pride NOT a slander.
Just as the Notre Dame Irish Catholics took on the "Fighting Irish" as a mark of pride that was a derogatory term.

"Redskin" was never a racial slur. It was always a term of endearment or pride in the Native American community. The team name came from Native Americans who played on the team!
They have done poll after poll of Native Americans and the vast majority are not offended in any of them. The only people offended by this are PC white people who are trying to be offended for other people.
