"There is, however, an analogy that would be more helpful in understanding the issue involved in the use of the Indian mascot and nickname. This analogy takes into account the historical context of the relationship between Indians and Euro-Americans. Consider a team in Germany called the Auschwitz Jews. I will leave the costuming of the mascot to your imagination."
