Post 5 Independent study

The side that I disagree with in the indian mascot controversy claims that the indians are offended by the mascots. Some indians are offended because they dont see the mascot as a brave and strong warrior but a racist view on them. In some professionsal sports games like the Red Skins (NFL), rivals of the Red Skins will yell out "kill the red skins" meaning beat them bad, but some indians, or other people think they mean kill the real indians. This starts a whole new side to the argument about offending the indians. People also state that blacks and asians arnt mascots so why should indians. If there is not a mascot of any other race than why should there be one of the indians. Its not fair to them and they are highly offended about this.
