KD in CA Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Maybe they should have polled white, urban SJWs to get the 'correct' answer.
metzelaars_lives Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 This survey has already been disputed and essentially refuted but congratulations to the people who worry about the "wussification of America" and "political correctness run amok." Tonight is your night.
dwight in philly Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 give credit to donald trump,for creating an atmosphere of nonPC . he seems to be ending the "wussification" of america.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 This survey has already been disputed and essentially refuted By who? The Stasi?
Magox Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 This is a concocted "controversy" inspired by the safe-space types.
Bleed Bills Blue Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 The only thing about "Washington Redskins" that offends me is "Washington".
metzelaars_lives Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 give credit to donald trump,for creating an atmosphere of nonPC . he seems to be ending the "wussification" of america. Well done. I think?
BuffaloHokie13 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 By who? The Stasi? Apparently they polled a massive population of ~500 people. I have seen people argue the sample size.
Captain_Quint Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Thats not the case if you ask Tim "Proudfoot" Graham.
DrDawkinstein Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) This is a concocted "controversy" inspired by the safe-space types. Cool. If it's not an offensive term, then lets you and I head down to the rez. I want to watch you walk around and greet people with "What's up, Redskin?! " and see how that all goes over. Shouldnt be a problem since it's a term of "respect" and this article proves that no one cares about it, right? ANYONE that thinks the name isnt a problem and shouldnt be changed should accept this challenge. Let me know when you want to head down. Edited May 20, 2016 by DrDareustein

Fingon Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 over ? can no longer be called red meat as this is offensive and must be called Skeletal Striated Contractile Protein SJW= Social Justice Warrior. SJWs are generally crazy people that believe some really crazy ****. These are people that think air conditioning is sexist: Apparently it's sexist to ban all single gender clubs, and not exclude women from that rule: https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2016/05/09/harvard-women-rally-against-single-gender-policy/h8AqIk3ub40v2cnLap4gFP/story.html There are many, many more examples but the general rule is that SJWs wish the oppressed to become the opressors.
DrDawkinstein Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Okay. What time you want to meet at Smokin Joe's on Monday?
FireChan Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 What time you want to meet at Smokin Joe's on Monday? The same time I'm there every Monday. 9:30.
DrDawkinstein Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 The same time I'm there every Monday. 9:30. Ooh, it's a bit of a hike but I should be able to make it that early on Monday. Will PM you details this weekend. No fair if you are actually Joe though.

No fair if you are actually Joe though. I can't promise you'll be safe, you Custer. Quick question though. If I walked around calling every NA a "Seminole," wouldn't a large majority get mad/offended? Does that make it racist and /or derogatory? Edited May 20, 2016 by FireChan
K D Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Wouldnt the Cleveland "Indians" be offensive? And someone named Bill might take offense to the Buffalo Bills so let's change that too
DrDawkinstein Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 I can't promise you'll be safe, you Custer. Quick question though. If I walked around calling every NA a "Seminole," wouldn't a large majority get mad/offended? Does that make it racist and /or derogatory? Yes, they'd probably get mad. But not because the term itself is racist or derogatory, rather because your incorrect use of it is insulting. It's like the difference between calling a Korean person Chinese (annoying, insulting, and you look like an ignorant ass), versus calling them a chink (racist, hateful, derogatory).
