At least on the surface, the names, “Braves”, “Indians”, and “Chiefs” would not seem to be as insulting to Native American as the “Redskins” mascot. Why does Churchill argue that these other mascots, too, are examples of “blatant racism”, and to what extent do you agree or disagree with him?
How effective do you find the analogies that Churchill draws between Indian mascots and stereotypes of African Americans, Hispanics, and other ethnic groups? How effective are the analogies with other kinds of groups (those based on gender, sexuality, etc.)?
