You think Easter Europeans, as in people who still live in Eastern Europe, did something to native Americans?

Everyone just lines up to be a victim. It's not healthy.

This whole situation is silly but

bikes with model names such as the “Scalp,”


I'd love to see who thought that would be a good idea in a board meeting

Why would a Czech company go with a name like Apache?

Because it sounds cool.

We have tons of companies that use names and reference from foreign cultures.

Wouldn't cultural appropriation be if you walked around telling people you're Native American, for some reason, and you aren't? I truly don't understand why people get so bent out of shape over costumes.

The "scalp" thing is a little tone deaf, I'll give them that.

The same reason people name things after other warrior tribes.

Vandals, mongols, goths, huns, tartars, Vikings...


Ancient warrior tribes were vicious and badass.



And those little biker shorts and helmet look gay as shite so you want a badass name to make up for it
