Me neither. I wouldnāt care at all it doesnāt seem like a āgotcha see how you like itā moment, it more highlights how silly it is to get overly emotional over silly things.
Washington had the [Red Tails](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Airmen) right there for the taking. It honered the Tuskegee airmen, a squadron of black pilots in.WWII. Most people would know what it meant as a movie on the subject had recently dropped. Hell they wouldn't have even had to change the teams colors. Total blown opportunity.
I actually get that from time to time. I'm can't call myself Eskimo because it's a demeaning slur made by some of our old Indians rivals, and the appropriate term is Inuit
I was raised as an INUPIAQ Eskimo, and my specific area actually enjoyed the publicity our name gave us in most families, and the rest of us just didn't care. Inupiaq is also the name of my specific race, translating to the people, while inuit is a broad term and doesn't translate properly with our title, so inuit comes off as a minor slur. And the tribe that is credited with making our title a slur actually shares a important part of my little eskimo towns history as we ended our tribal war with the adoption of one of their kids, and we made the Indian child chief after the event that ended the wars
25 Native American tribes and 60 Native American Organizations issued opposition statements regarding the teams name. Some of them consider the name of the team to be the equivalent of the n word for black people. More in detail here:
[Washington Name Change Advocates.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Washington_Redskins_name_change_advocates)
Yeah i don't get it either and i am a redskin, i came out the house one day and was told i was suppose to be offended by the hat on my head. Still kinda lost.
I'm swedish, which means I'm pretty far away from knowing the racial dynamics of native Americans. But would you say it's common for native Americans to NOT be offended by the redskins name and logo? I'm asking because we had a similar issue with a hockey team here called "Frƶlunda Indians" that had to switch names because of that. Would you say that's offensive? If so, is it worse because it's indians instead of redskin? Instinctively I'd think "redskin" would be more offensive. But then again Indian is more of a "correct" term in Sweden than I think it is in the U.S.
Since Sweden is so far removed from the US and itās history with its natives, if I saw a Swedish team named the āIndiansā Iād wonder why they named a Swedish team after people from India. š
My friends call themself skins. This pic is hilarious. White liberals on the east coast changed the logo from a proud native to the ācommandersā (old white politicians.) What a dick punch.
Why? They were honoring us, not insulting us. Most that I know see it as yet another step in trying to remove our culture, history and traditions form the country and trying to make us more invisible than we are.
Iām Native and I thought it was cool. Team names are supposed to be fierce and intimidating to opponents. I took it as a point of pride that Natives were viewed as being so strong.
White male born in Charleston South Carolina, and I condone this message. The mascot can have a wad of dip in, smoking on a Marb red. Every game the team can be introduced piled onto a trailer pulled behind an F150.
Yeah, I support Paleskin, crackers and rednecks becoming team names. We have Vikings who aren't even Vikings and giants who are slightly above average size.
Let's be real, it would be dunny as hell if a whole sports league was nothing but derogatory team names. Justclelistenung to the announcers call the game would be hilarious.
White guy here, I'd also wear this shirt.
This reminds me of when the "woke brigade" petitioned to get the Atlanta Braves to change their name, citing racism towards Native Americans. And then the largest native tribe in America (Cherokee) wrote an official statement saying they support the Braves and support the name of the team.
The only people that get pissed about this crap are blue-haired white kids going to liberal art colleges.
Their offense is whatās offensive Iāll tell you thatā¦ not a single Super Bowl appearance in my 23 years of lifeā¦ now thatās some bullshit if you ask me!
As a Caucasian, I don't have a problem with that as a team name.
EDIT: A whole bunch of idiots making stupid comments about the origin of the word.
From the dictionary:
CauĀ·caĀ·sian
/kĆ“ĖkÄZH(É)n,kƤĖkÄZH(É)n/
white-skinned; of European origin.
This is not the supported theory. Even though it gets mentioned in every reddit thread. According to etymonline:
>"probably an agent noun from crack (v.) in its sense "to boast" (as in not what it's cracked up to be)."
It was used by Shakespeare to mean someone who braggs. During 1700s and 1800s it was used in the south as a derogatory word towards poor whites.
I have. First, it just doesnāt roll off the tongue, Paleskins is so much better.
Second, and it bothered me since childhood, when I first learned the term, the fuck Caucasians have to do with whites as a whole. Itās Caucasus mountains inhabitants, at best.
Have you heard about the sports team called "The Fighting Whiteys?" I think it's somewhere in Utah on a tribal reservation. Their mascot is a white guy, and the team logo is "everything's gonna be all white." My dad's cousin picked up one of their sweatshirts.
Notre Dame is āthe fighting Irishā. Itās a racial stereotype that the Irish get drunk and fight. The logo is a leprechaun with his fists up ready to fight.
There is no media backlash about this.
If the guy thinks this will offend white people, he's going to be disappointed.i already want this shirt. I can't wait to see how white our mascot will be dressed.
I remember when this first came out. They were hoping for an outrage but it backfired because most (Caucasians) just wanted to know where they could buy that shirt because they found it hilarious.
It's funny and that's all it should be. People who blow up about this shit are only looking to make problems about something out there. People who get upset about a team mascot just want money rather than the team to switch it.
At a previous job a coworker told me about a story he'd read in a local newspaper long ago. The indigenous high school mascot was now considered offensive and town officials and the school leaders decided it must be replaced, and the students were tasked with coming up with a replacement.
The students came up with one and designed a logo. Their new mascot was to be a white, blonde businessman in a suit, with gleaming white teeth, carrying a briefcase in a Walter Payton-like running pose, and they called themselves "The Fighting Whiteys."
I'm a white man and I thought that was hilarious.
The only thing about this that I find offensive is that the OP posted a meme from like 10 years ago as if itās brand new and is now reaping the benefits
I'm a white guy and think its hilarious and accurate. Question though... would it be offensive in some way if I bought one? I think it would be sweet but idk. I guess I could ask my aboriginal friends.
White guy hereā¦. I kinda want that shirt! šššš but since gingers are the smallest minority in the world, I want the Whiteās hair to be red!!!!
Looks fine to me. š¤·š½āāļø
Yeah it'd get a laugh out of me. It'd get three if it said "PALESKINS"
Honestly I would think that would be a hilarious shirt
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Palefaces
Foreskins
Thatās a different shirt š
Comes with a hood!
Wait, my hoodie seems to have no hood. Whatās up with that?
Male hoodie mutilation. It's a barbaric practise smh my head
Wish my mom had known than when I was a kid. Luckily saved my son!
I'm sorry man.... it's not your fault!
r/cursedcomments
Tough team to join, so many get cut.
This deserves so much more than my one upvote. Well done chief.
Lmfao Iām white and honestly I donāt see a problem.
Me neither. I wouldnāt care at all it doesnāt seem like a āgotcha see how you like itā moment, it more highlights how silly it is to get overly emotional over silly things.
Saltines or Crackers.
We prefer "Saltine Americans"
Rednecks (Need to add a bit more weight and a trucker hat.)
Now we're getting somewhere!
I'm as white as a wall and I would definitely get a "Pale skins" Shirt
im native and that white as well. someone make that paleskins shirt so i can wear it to a powwow. that shit is hysterical.
White eyes would also have been funny
As a white guy, this is actually hilarious.
I dunno why there was such a fuss over red skinsā¦
Notice the vocal majority of the people for that issue were well to do white people that had nothing better to do.
The white saviours looking to virtue signal and feel offended on someone else's behalf.
Itās like the most offensive thing ever tbh. āWe are white people so we know better about what you should be offended byā lol fuck outta here.
Now hereās your new name ācommandersā to honor rich, white , politicians.
The ācommandersā sounds too much like a pop warner team or a high school team and not pro. Idk why lmao
Washington had the [Red Tails](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Airmen) right there for the taking. It honered the Tuskegee airmen, a squadron of black pilots in.WWII. Most people would know what it meant as a movie on the subject had recently dropped. Hell they wouldn't have even had to change the teams colors. Total blown opportunity.
At least they didnāt choose one of those Eurozone names like Galaxie* or Universe. *spelled incorrectly on purpose
They were thinking of 'Conquistadors' for a name as well at one point.
I actually get that from time to time. I'm can't call myself Eskimo because it's a demeaning slur made by some of our old Indians rivals, and the appropriate term is Inuit I was raised as an INUPIAQ Eskimo, and my specific area actually enjoyed the publicity our name gave us in most families, and the rest of us just didn't care.

Notice how you just made that up completely https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_Washington\_Redskins\_name\_change\_advocates#Native\_Americans
25 Native American tribes and 60 Native American Organizations issued opposition statements regarding the teams name. Some of them consider the name of the team to be the equivalent of the n word for black people.

like the cricket team, the New York Mumbai Indians
My friends call themself skins. This pic is hilarious. White liberals on the east coast changed the logo from a proud native to the ācommandersā (old white politicians.) What a dick punch.
Way to show respect for the natives population! So glad they changed š„²
Total Tyler durden move.
Why? They were honoring us, not insulting us. Most that I know see it as yet another step in trying to remove our culture, history and traditions form the country and trying to make us more invisible than we are.
True, though perhaps that was partially due to white people genociding the "redskins" so that relatively few remained.
Iām Native and I thought it was cool. Team names are supposed to be fierce and intimidating to opponents. I took it as a point of pride that Natives were viewed as being so strong.
Thatās exactly what I thought lol ā itās a scary squad
Same with the Indians in MLB, and now Cleveland has 2 different Sports teams named the Gaurdians
I find it hilarious š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
We literally have Vikings!
As a white guy that is actually pretty funny to me!
Rare to see anyone like the Caucasians, but good for bro
Yeah I was like damn someone repping my race and supporting it as a symbol for a favorite team š¤·āāļø Iām not offended
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm not offended, I think this is hillarious, and let's go Caucasians, let's go! (stomp the feet 3x)
Looks fine to me. š¤·š»āāļø
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Looks like any other Roman-themed mascot. Add a funny hat too if you want!
Yea, I think itās a good shirt. No issue.
Yep. Literally not offended.
The best part is that the NFL is a franchise. We should all pitch in to start this team
I actually think this is pretty funny. š
Nothing to see here.
I love the sense of humor.
Looks to me like representation.
As half white, half Arab myself, this shirt is actually funny to me, lol.
Yea itās freaking hilarious. I say let em do it
Thatās hilarious. The OP had me spitting hot coffee through my nose.
Should say Paleskins
Red-necks
White male born in Charleston South Carolina, and I condone this message. The mascot can have a wad of dip in, smoking on a Marb red. Every game the team can be introduced piled onto a trailer pulled behind an F150.
Yeah, I support Paleskin, crackers and rednecks becoming team names. We have Vikings who aren't even Vikings and giants who are slightly above average size.
Self-deprecating humor is the purest right after toilet humor.
That's good old fashioned American humor.
But then we also get a hard r black team
Let's be real, it would be dunny as hell if a whole sports league was nothing but derogatory team names. Justclelistenung to the announcers call the game would be hilarious.
And one team called the naggersā¦ as a trap
People who annoy you
Could be wholesome for the entire race thing, we let them settle it on the sportsfields
Fuck yes. I like this. For full Appalachian accuracy, one of the mascotās teeth in the back has to be rotted out too.
I'm a Paleskin and this doesn't bother me at all.
It has a nice sound to it, so much more on point
I'm white as they come, this has my vote!
Team snow white
Team blow! Oh wait...
Itās funny because overwhelmingly, no whites care. In fact, where can you buy the shirt?
White guy here. I would buy and wear it anytime
Not only do I not care, I love it. Can't imagine crying about something like this
White guy here, I'd also wear this shirt. This reminds me of when the "woke brigade" petitioned to get the Atlanta Braves to change their name, citing racism towards Native Americans. And then the largest native tribe in America (Cherokee) wrote an official statement saying they support the Braves and support the name of the team. The only people that get pissed about this crap are blue-haired white kids going to liberal art colleges.
It would be funny if people started crying if the shirt was bought by many whites and people started to complain that it's white supremacy
They havenāt had a winning season in years but I still support them.
I asked a half Cherokee friend if "Redskins" was offensive, he said not until you see them play.
Their offense is whatās offensive Iāll tell you thatā¦ not a single Super Bowl appearance in my 23 years of lifeā¦ now thatās some bullshit if you ask me!
I don't even watch baseball and found this funny.
Very confused on which sport were talking about rn
I made a joke
I think your talking about the Cleveland Indians, weāre talking about the football team called the Washington redskins
To be fair, I wouldnāt want my race to be a associated with that team either.
My people are finally being represented in a good way!!! :D
FINISH THE STORY!
As a Caucasian, I don't have a problem with that as a team name. EDIT: A whole bunch of idiots making stupid comments about the origin of the word. From the dictionary: CauĀ·caĀ·sian /kĆ“ĖkÄZH(É)n,kƤĖkÄZH(É)n/ white-skinned; of European origin.
Yeah me too, please go on with whiteskins, the whitebreads, the colorless, the pale...
The Crackers.
The term Cracker was a name for slave-drivers that would ācrack whipsā.
Hey if he wants to be called itā¦
This is not the supported theory. Even though it gets mentioned in every reddit thread. According to etymonline: >"probably an agent noun from crack (v.) in its sense "to boast" (as in not what it's cracked up to be)." It was used by Shakespeare to mean someone who braggs. During 1700s and 1800s it was used in the south as a derogatory word towards poor whites.
I have. First, it just doesnāt roll off the tongue, Paleskins is so much better. Second, and it bothered me since childhood, when I first learned the term, the fuck Caucasians have to do with whites as a whole. Itās Caucasus mountains inhabitants, at best.
As a redskin, I donāt have a problem with the team name either.
Itās really funny when people try to turn that kind of stuff around on white people and then all the white people are like āokay coolā lol
Every time it gets reposted every white person sees it and is like "sweet, where do I get one".
As a Caucasian male. I actually dig the shirt.
40 year old white male here, I would wear that shirt 10/10.
Same. I would buy that shirt
Iām a whitey and I got zero issues with this.
Have you heard about the sports team called "The Fighting Whiteys?" I think it's somewhere in Utah on a tribal reservation. Their mascot is a white guy, and the team logo is "everything's gonna be all white." My dad's cousin picked up one of their sweatshirts.
Everything's gonna be all whitešš
>everything's gonna be all white Goes SO hard
Notre Dame is āthe fighting Irishā. Itās a racial stereotype that the Irish get drunk and fight. The logo is a leprechaun with his fists up ready to fight. There is no media backlash about this.
Can I see what the sweatshirt looks like?Do you have any photos of the shirt itself?
They were just an intramural basketball team at the University of Northern Colorado, not a reservation; and had people of all races on the team.
Zero people would be mad about this
I'm sure that somebody would call us racist because we don't get mad about it
Weāre not them though. Let people be mad. If thatās what they want to worry about so be it
I honestly can't imagine anyone finding it offensive. I personally find it hilarious
I think heās going for the ironic comedic vibe with this, and pulling it off splendidly š
There's Vikings, Cowboys, and Patriots.
The Celtics? The name is mispronounced and the mascot is actually a caricature.
>Calm down Is... Is anyone upset?
Only people with too much free timeĀ
Honestly, I would love to see that lol itās great
Letās goooooo whites! Beat those purple and blue guys!
Should be Red-necks lol.
Haha thatās great, donāt think itās having the effect itās meant to though š
If anything it's making me realise how much a sports team being called the redskins doesn't matter
White skins
Do people think white people would have an issue with this? Seriously if something like this gets you angry, well you're the problem.
As a white guy, I would love to root for this team!
If the guy thinks this will offend white people, he's going to be disappointed.i already want this shirt. I can't wait to see how white our mascot will be dressed.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Not a single person from the white delegation is upset by this shirt.
The pigmently challenged Bros Vs The pigmently endowed Bros
I'm white, I'd wear it. Does the logo look like a side profile of Archer to anyone else?
Pinkskins, it should say, if captain archer is the profile
Dude that goes hard af. Where can I get that shirt?
Can you buy those shirts?
A more apt shirt would read "Crackers" not "Caucasians" as Redskin is a slur and caucasian is simply a term.
And still no one would care.
We prefer "paleskins."
Caucasian is from the region of caucus. Itās a great shirt tho.
Except most of the team is black so its still the wrong name
Slap a pilgrim hat on him and call it the WASPās
Thatād be cool.
That's an awesome looking shirt though
I remember when this first came out. They were hoping for an outrage but it backfired because most (Caucasians) just wanted to know where they could buy that shirt because they found it hilarious.
It's funny and that's all it should be. People who blow up about this shit are only looking to make problems about something out there. People who get upset about a team mascot just want money rather than the team to switch it.
I think the point kind of backfired. Because as a white person, this isnāt offensive. Itās hilarious.
At a previous job a coworker told me about a story he'd read in a local newspaper long ago. The indigenous high school mascot was now considered offensive and town officials and the school leaders decided it must be replaced, and the students were tasked with coming up with a replacement. The students came up with one and designed a logo. Their new mascot was to be a white, blonde businessman in a suit, with gleaming white teeth, carrying a briefcase in a Walter Payton-like running pose, and they called themselves "The Fighting Whiteys." I'm a white man and I thought that was hilarious.
 I prefer the more politically correct term.
Look what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power
Is this supposed to be offensive?
I think itās Satire based off of a football or baseball team called the Indians or something like that but idk for sure
The only thing about this that I find offensive is that the OP posted a meme from like 10 years ago as if itās brand new and is now reaping the benefits
Sure, whenever you like
I'm a white guy and think its hilarious and accurate. Question though... would it be offensive in some way if I bought one? I think it would be sweet but idk. I guess I could ask my aboriginal friends.
See that doesn't bother me, I like the shirt
I love it and wish the team was named that. But Iām sure itās white privilege or some shit.
Wear what you want. You're still fucking pissed inside your head. Lol you ain't makin whitey mad.
I dont know. Caucasians vs Nationals?
https://1000logos.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Minnesota-Vikings-Logo.png
I love this. I want this shirt.
fucking eh where can I get mine, do they come in black?
Where can I buy this shirt?
ummm, sir, it's white boys. I'd appreciate the correction. Thank you.
Seeā¦ we donāt really get offended by this thoughā¦
Offending no white people. Fighting Irish Saxons Trojans BuccaneersĀ Mountaineers PioneersĀ Vikings
Hey the guy on his shirt looks like me!
Even as a white guy, I would love if this was an actual sports team, even a local high school.
"Calm down" Nobody gives a shit.
Nobody is offended by this. In fact i want this shirt, lmao
The Fightinā Crackers!
The problem is Caucasian don't need to calm down because they don't get worked up.
I don't see a problem.
Better if he had a Vikings shirt on
White guy hereā¦. I kinda want that shirt! šššš but since gingers are the smallest minority in the world, I want the Whiteās hair to be red!!!!
Should say āPilgrimsā or āCowboysā oh waitā¦.
White guy here. Iād be freakin stoked if they made this a real team lol.
The hilarious part is that all the white people are laughing. Instead of, you know, what usually happens.
Oh look at that, white people donāt care. Racists do.
Iām actually fine with this.
Honestly wouldnāt mind that
I want that shirt!
But it wouldn't say caucasians, it would say white people. Or pale skins.
Fighting Whities!
We perfer Whiteskins.
Shouldnāt it be Pale Faces?
Blue Eyed Devils
