"In the United States today, the names Apache, Comanche, Chinook, Lakota, Cheyenne and Kiowa apply not only to Indian tribes but also to military helicopters. Add in the Black Hawk, named for a leader of the Sauk tribe. Then there is the Tomahawk, a low-altitude missile, and a drone named for an Indian chief, Gray Eagle. Operation Geronimo was the end of Osama bin Laden.
Perhaps the senators outraged by the Redskins name could turn their letter-writing pens on the Defense Department next."...
What kind of person pretends there is no difference between tribal names and racial slurs?
DonDiego is not stupid.
But his unwillingness to admit the stupidity of some of his views backs him into corners where he has no choice but to appear stupid.
In this day and age, not knowing why Native Americans would be offended by Redskins while simultaneously feigning shock that Native Americans aren't offended by Apache, Comanche, Chinook, Lakota, Cheyenne, Kiowa, Black Hawk, Tomahawk, Gray Eagle, and Geronimo requires a willingness to appear stupid.
Enter DonDiego.
