PrinceRainbow comments on Indians will abandon Chief Wahoo logo next year:
But the dude actually changed my mind. He had a slide show (I’m so old it wasn’t yet PowerPoint) and he had all the old racist caricatures and drawings from newspapers in the late 1800s and early 1900s. There were black people with grotesque features or made to look like apes, there were brutish, drunken Irish people, greasy, hairy Italians, and native Americans with giant noses and buck teeth, much like what chief wahoo looks like today. The thing he said that stuck with me is that these caricatures were designed this way to make these groups of people seem less human. It makes it easier for segregation, lynching, or moving the remnants of a people into a desert if you don’t see these groups as humans. And we’ve gotten rid of all the other ones in our advertising and sports logos except for the Native American ones.
