I don't think the name itself is racist, but I agree that the logo is a bit on the racist side simply because it sort of reflects a stereotype of Native Americans. And I think you do have to consider that it is considered to be "politically incorrect" to call a native American "Indian". I think the bottom line is whether or not Native Americans themselves find it to be racist, and I don't know of anyone of Native American descent who finds the term "Indian" itself to be a racist slur. Maybe the fine gentleman on line should instead channel his anger towards the Redskins instead. Or better yet, perhaps he should find a Native American charity to work with. Better to help people who need help than to spend energy defending them over something as silly as this. Help them with real problems, such as the fact that Native Americans have a high rate of alcoholism and drug abuse as well as a severe educational gap. As far as the tomahawk chop goes, I'd disagree that it was endorsed by the Seminole tribe. It was endorsed by them when used by Florida State whose name is the Seminoles (and who work closely with Seminole leaders to ensure authenticity in all that they do). For the gentleman who thinks the Blackhawk head is racist, I'll fill you in a bit. Blackhawk was an actual person, and although the name actually originated from the name of an Army division in the First World War, it has since morphed into a tribute to Chief Blackhawk of the Fox tribe here in Illinois (you may have heard of the Blackhawk Wars). I am a descendant of Blackhawk, and see no problem at all with that logo. (I also have no problem with someone telling me that I am part Indian, either) Edit - I notice I was referring to Fungo as "the gentleman". I'd bet he all ready knows all that Blackhawk stuff. Proof that great minds don't always think alike!
