Skarie ACE Debate

I do see where you are coming from but so many people are taking it as offensive and racist and as Marli said, that if the mascot wasn't offensive or racist things would be going more smoothly. And Obama said that he would change it if he owned it so he is saying that it is being racist and offensive. So therefore I do think that they should change the mascots. I am not saying what you had is wrong I am just saying that most people do think tat it is offending.

I see what you are saying but so many people are taking it offensive and racist. If Native American tribes are getting offended then I think that they should change. But I do see where you are coming from though.

Also Arab-Americans Cry Foul Over California high school mascot they said that most recently, the Oneida Indian Nation, a Native American tribe in upstate New York, took the NFL's Washington Redskins to task for it's name which the tribe then stated that it was a racial slur. President Barack Obama had weighed in on the debate and had said that he would have considered changing the mascot if he had owned the mascot.
