Because they call themselves Indians, and 90%+ of them either don't care about the mascot, or think it's kind of cool they have sports teams named in their honor?

@NullVoid2 Well, if it gets down to it, I'm native to America too. So are the Trumps.

@JCAM34 The word in English is Indians, has been for centuries, and they use it too. Proudly. They're not allowed to be proud, because some activist says so? That's incredibly patronizing.

"When someone who hates my guts, hates my values, hates my freedom, hates my politics, writes a bad article about me, to, that's a badge of honor!" That's a perspective that this comments section needs to consider. ;)

@lordlemond1350 Well, the ones who died of disease 400+ years ago (the vast majority of whom never even met or heard of a European) never heard of baseball either. It's pretty safe to say they have no opinion one way or another.

@NullVoid2 So, is this a big thing in India or something? It's kind of weird here in America that people are making a big deal of it.

@lordlemond1350 I'm saying your outbursts are a little misplaced. Dead people tend not to have opinions on subjects they had no idea existed, when they were alive. For another, the "slaughter" of some 98% of the Indians occurred because of livestock-based diseases, inadvertently spread far and wide by the livestock that Europeans brought on their exploration expeditions, rather than the Europeans themselves. A lot of places and people have been "misnamed" throughout history. No one actually knows who the "Rus" were, they might have been invading Vikings from Sweden, but you'll find a lot of fiercely proud Russians. Germans call themselves "Deutsch", but don't really complain about other countries using a term for their land derived from the hostile Imperial Romans ("Germania"). Saxons / Danes / Britons / Romano-Celts and even a few Angles call themselves "English", and there really aren't many Bretons in the mix of English / Scots / Welsh / Picts / etc who call themselves "British". Do you really not have anything more important in your life to spend your energy on? It's kind of fun to spread actual facts on the web (it's how Wikipedia was born, after all), but getting really angry about stuff that a) isn't really accurate, and b) wouldn't really matter if it was, seems kind of pointless.

@lordlemond1350 My take "on how other people feel" is informed by years of consistent polling, in addition to attention to how they freely present themselves. So yeah, pretty confident there. Your "defense" of "people of marginalized disenfranchisement" is nothing more than a chance for you to use big words. (Your grammar is atrocious, by the way. "Marginalized disenfranchisement" means disenfranchisement that has been marginalized (which means it's been rendered unimportant), and you even put a cherry on top by using "your" instead of "you're". Kid ... honestly ... you really need to find something else to do that you're actually good at. Learn how the various parts of speech work together in a sentence before you do much writing. Stop wasting your time parroting what intersectional grievance grifters pour into your head. Get a job as an essential worker, maybe, stocking grocery shelves is FAR more meaningful than what you're doing. I feel like Uncle Iroh did when the guy tried to mug him. What you're doing is just sad.
