1987, April 27 - It never makes sense for people to fight hard to keep a racist mascot by saying the mascot isn't that big of a deal...

By that logic, then it isn't a big deal to change it either.. right? 

And bravo to the teachers of this student who created a situation where he
believes ignorantly depicting another race for the sole entertainment of a dominant
one is irrelevant. You can teach them that Native people are "brave and proud" - but if
they speak up, their issues aren't as important as others.
