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.

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

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.

Also, the study the Redskins poll claimed that it did not vary based on tribe.

The organization who ran the survey said it isn't an accurate portrayal.

So it isn't a racial slur if the entire population doesn't agree with it?

I've already said I don't think that the Redskins should change the name. That doesn't mean it doesn't have a history as a racial slur. Context is important.
