Yes, if I was a white American living comfortably in the suburbs this whole issue would certainly seem to be at the bottom of my list. HOWEVER, this is a HUGE issue for those who want to see themselves fairly represented in America. The way American Indians have been mistreated and are continually mistreated is shameful enough, then we go and make mascots of them??!! That's just pouring salt in the wound if you ask me.
As far as I'm concerned, this is not an issue for non-American Indians to weigh in on. It should be up to them to tell US how they want to be represented. Jeez, if it's such a small detail, why can't we just give it up???
