The word 'Indian' and its use is being placed on the front burner again. There's now talk about how horrid it is that the Atlanta Braves have maintained their nickname. Around ten years ago I wrote a blog piece on Indians as mascots in our nations high schools. At the time there were around 410 schools with that particular moniker. I'm certain it's down somewhat now because so many superintendents of schools and their dorky school boards have fallen prey to the woke crowd.
Today I again started thinking about 'Indian' and associated words used to denigrate those of Native American heritage. If we're going to drop any names associated with these folks then we have to start over with our nations history.
You might like to know there are 26 states in this once great nation named after Indians and Indian tribes so stuff that in your peace pipes and get started now. https://thoughtcatalog.com/james-b-barnes/2014/10/26-states-that-were-named-by-native-americans-was-your-state/
