It’s funny because this doesn’t make white people angry.
if an actual white person wore that shirt, the libs would call it a hate crime.
I think it'd be more confusing than anything. Like, what point would they be conveying? On this guy it's funny.
It conveys the point of "I don't find this offensive and if you find the various native american mascots offensive then stop being a pussy." I live in Ohio and I've seen people wear "Cleveland Italians" shirts with a white Chief Wahoo logo that had a Mario mustache and I chuckle every time.
Yes, but that is with the context. Without it, being entirely out of the loops and knowing nothing about the politics of some stranger, it could be anything. Removing all that for me, I see the Beavis and Butthead profile intro.
Hell, I like it. Clean cut, strong, proud iconography.
He accidentally made a chad meme.
Needs a gamer headset, though.
Maybe because there isn't much to make fun of?
The best insult is that we're "boring" or "bland". Okay...
There wouldn't be an issue with black or skraeling mascots if those races weren't ashamed of themselves or their appearances.
I wonder what they mean by bland or boring...not partying all the time? holding down a job, being responsible? Thoughtful about the future? Not criminal nor prone to bursts of violence?
You could do almost any of the things "racialized" people whine about (statues, sports teams, songs, phrases), but swap it to white, and the Hwites would chuckle, and possibly embrace it.
In my opinion it shows a massive inferiority complex from the race grifters. If any benign representation of your own race comes across as racist, you either need to sort our your own mindset, or your own race. Because something ain't right there.
Meanwhile, if you tried to represent whites in the exact same benign way, it's White Supremacy. Anti-white arguments make a better claim towards white supremacy than the most hardened white supremacist ever could.
Right? I think it's a dumb name, but sure, whatever. Go local sportsball team!
I dont see what the problem is. That would be hilarious to have a team named the Caucasians.
Maybe we can just take a joke better?
The mascot could be more exagerated.
I like the blandness, but maybe crossed grilling utensils underneath?
Like the six flags guy I guess.
you just know leftists would claim it is white supremecy
Only when they win the Super Bowl.
This conversation came up on a YouTube stream I was watching several months back, and a Jewish Youtuber on the panel said "I think it would be awesome if there was a sports team called 'The Fighting Kikes'." And I've seen several people of various ethnicities who disagree that "X sports team/portrayal is racist", so I don't think it's as much your race/ethnicity, but more how willing you are to interpret a portrayal as positive/negative (which is going to lean away from lefties with a victim mentality.)

I, for one, am wholly onboard this leftist push with erasing any and all references to indigenous Americans from public life. This whole "living together" thing just doesn't seem to be working out.
As an illustration: I'm actually currently working on a project with a client who is providing support to a native American tribe to help them preserve some of their tribal heritage in a digital format.
They are adamant, however, that this heritage (which essentially amounts to some names for things) must remain absolutely secret to anyone outside the tribe.
So I'm happy to take their money, and will laugh when their tribal heritage dies with them because they're fucking morons and nobody cares about their stupid secret words.
What's weird is how often I see the same thing with European cultures. My wife is icelandic, but can't speak the language because everyone speaks to her in English. She tries to find out stories, but the locals think it's going to be misused. I've tried telling them how many times I've seen this song and dance before, but they don't believe me.
For the tribes, it's hard to imagine the culture dying because everyone around them is that tribe. They don't see 30 miles outside of it where no one has a clue.
Indigenous to where? Are you saying “natives” are a separate species to humans?
They are the aliens making pyramids.
Umm, ancient aliens is actually racist because it implies the totally black egyptians weren't capable of doing it themselves and instead had extraterrestrial aid.
For those who think I am joking, yes I am, however this isn't something that I came up with, it's a genuine take I've heard numerous times from these retards.
Aliens would find the existence of the Abos very interesting.
Maybe they are big brained, and we are all like abos to them so they don't care. It would be like the difference between a chimpanzee and a bonobo to us.
Padres, Mariners, Yankees.
I respect his team spirit.
Caucasians rock! Go Team!
/Ginger - extra mega supreme Caucasian.
You know you're ginger when you see a picture of the sun and get burnt.
Dude, I'd be the biggest Caucasians fan in the league
Yep the reason there is no sports team called the Caucasians or the White Colonizers or something like that is most white sports fans would flock to them instead of their local teams. It would put the lie to that naming a team after a people group is an insult to that people group
Can't forget the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, a name and logo from reclaiming a derogatory stereotype.
Or cheese heads for the French.
We need more sports team names glorifiying the germanic peoples.
I would love the Hessians vs Yankees games.
Years back someone named a team "the fighting whites" as a sort of gotcha. Then it backfired in their face as everyone loved it and started buying their merch. They eventually changed the team's name.
No problem with a team name like that.
Volunteers, Pioneers, Boilermakers, Aggies, and hell they've banned making certain White nicknames like Crusaders and Rebels. A team taking a nickname is meant to envoke proud strong images of such a group, I'd love it if more team names were based off of White groups, let's see some Conquistadors and Burgermeister team names.
I'd love some Hassars.
This is very cringe and insecure. Also he seems to be very happy to have access to the comforts that come with white civilisation.
Don't forget "Tar Heels" and "Yankees".
Both actually started out as slurs. Yankees actually still is a slur, but Tar Heels was an insult to North Carolinians in the Confederate army for being slow to engage in battle. It literally means "coward", but the North Carolinians adopted the name anyway.
I've had this conversation here before. Yankees has an amazing history, and it's weird to think it came from German immigrants with names like Jan and Jahnke.
Also, it's a perfect example of an appropriated slur. Yankee Doodle was created to mock the colonists, and instead of being offended, they embraced it.
Yankee Doodle is so much worse than you think. The Americans re-appropriated it from the British who... marched down the streets and sung it to the local population while they were conducting an questionably legal military occupation of Boston. They suspended freedom of speech, press, assembly, due process, and the right to bear arms. They also seized a warehouse and turned it into a patrol base/barracks in the heart of the city.
Yankee is already an insult. Doodle, is a reference to Americans being basically idiots, so another insult. Dandy... well, it means the equivalent of a "faggot" as a kind of limp-dick, weak-willed, 'fag' (regardless of sexuality). Riding a pony instead of a horse (indicating more weakness and stupidity), decorating himself with feathers and calling it macaroni (which means in his vain attempt to be taken seriously, he dresses like an idiot in order to look like a metrosexual).
They sang that, while marching down the street, at the population of men and women who's rights they had suspended and were explicitly stating they would execute if they got out of line.
... And yet the British wondered why we fucking shot them for it.
Imagine how fucking angry a foreign army would make a population if they marched down the street singing "Kill yourself you stupid faggots"

I'm not a trump acolyte but the Dark Maga and Ultra Maga things the left tried to use as an insult were hilarious
Very true. Heck, if you read Milton Berle's jokebook, the Yankees win in their jokes.
This reminds me of Transformers Prime's explanation for the origins of the name "Decepticons."
In that continuity, the name was given to them by the good guys in an intent to MOCK them.
But Megatron's faction ended up adopting it, to show that they will achieve their goals by any means necessary.
“The name was meant to demonize us. Instead, we wear it as a badge of honor, for if speaking the truth is deception, then we are gladly guilty."
Jesus. Megatron sounds based as fuck.
Excuse me blanket dodger, but could I interest you in a wooden nickel? Whats that? Manifest Destiny? Just kidding great shirt. Have a nice drink!
That icon is literally just the "Yes" Chad lol
ignores the SJW
... are you talking to me?
Okay.
The Washington White Skins.
Almost like he's saying White Lives Matter. STRING UP THIS INTERNALIZED WHITE SUPREMACIST!!!!!
I'd be down for that!
Frankly, the only slur I've heard from a Native American is "Raw Face".
It was kind of insulting, but I had to laugh at the creativity of it.
If the worst slur for blacks was somehow turned right around on whites it would be something like whitey, maybe white boy. So these things don't really make sense.
Cracker still means basically nothing. I don't know what the worst thing you can call an Indian is, but the worst thing you can call a black is black, apparently, and the worst thing you can call an Indian is Pakistani. When you are slurring someone, I don't think the words make sense.
He's just pointing to the race that upon coming to ''their'' continent gave them muskets and allowed them to skip hundreds of years of human development considering their most sophisticated weapon was a bow at the time, that's why they still can't catch up.
And sure they are natives, just ignore and don't ask them where they got those asian features from, they just spawned on the north American continent duh.
