A New Study Contradicts a Washington Post Poll About How Native Americans View the Redskins' Name | Washingtonian (DC)
"But a new study from academics at the University of Michigan and UC Berkeley contradicts that data. In a scientific survey of more than 1,000 Native Americans, roughly half of the participants said they were offended by the Redskins’ name. Moreover, 65 percent said they were offended by sports fans performing a “tomahawk chop,” and 73 percent said they were offended by fans imitating Native American dances." |
Yes, the WaPo study was "highly biased and incorrect", but the studies from "academics" at Berkeley and Michigan (both bastions of free thought...
snort, chortle) say what YOU want them to say, so they're correct...
And who, besides you, mentioned the "tomahawk chop" or "Native American Dances", which are NEVER seen at DC games?
