so since a dictionary (written by a white guy) claims its offensive then its offensive?
It means it fits the definition of a racial slur, making it a racial slur.
You're debating the meaning of the word now?

the opinion of those whom are supposed to be offended isnt relevant in this case?
I'm not for the redskins name change, but your point seems silly. Native Americans consist of hundreds of different tribes. I would expect there to be many with differing views on a wide variety of topics.

The exact same could be said for other groups, such as african americans and hispanics, yet could your imagine the term ni**er or wetback being used as a school moniker? i couldnt.
The logical conclusion, in my mind, is that native americans are much less worried about that term than white folks are. in fact, at least a reasonable sized contingent of them see it as a term to take pride in.
