its not the people in these groups TODAY that were affected. shit, in a lot of cases is not their grandparents or great grand parents.
i would argue that treating these minority groups so special and careful, trying not to offend them, it only makes the "racism" worse. lets use blacks as an example. i would definitely argue that our politically correct, soft culture is only feeding the problems with inner city blacks, poverty and crime. we are so scared of offending, dont want to point out any flaws, etc.. we make it ok for blacks and other minority groups to live that shitty lifestyle and even support it by giving them special treatment. where if it were a white person in the same situation, we wouldnt hesitate to point it out and not just accept it.
you cant preach equality and give certain groups special treatment, you cant try to achieve and create equality by doing the exact opposite.
i read an article recently(ill try to find it and post it here) saying that the percentage of blacks, in relation to whites, who are in or have been to jail, members of gangs, divorced, etc.. have something like tripled orquadrupled since the 30's, and doubled or tripled since the 60's. meaning the problem has increased as political correctness and this BS equality treatment has increased. and it wasnt hardly an issue when they were actually dealing with horrible racism and treated like shit.
anyway, my point is, in cases like this, changing a team name thats been around forever in an attempt to make some people feel better and not hurt their emotions, is only creating more inequality and making the problem worse. and not only for equality, our culture has in general just gotten so fucking PC, soft, etc.. we are a nation of complete pussies, and catering to those who get offended by anything and everything just makes it worse. we need to move on, get over it, and not cater specially to any one group of people.
