A very beautiful woman if I said so myself

"Trump into beastiality, caught stroking a cat"

2020-11-17 15:48:28 UTC  

Trumps nephew is extremely hot

2020-11-17 15:48:44 UTC  

Anyone else remember when the media tried to say Trump was a psychopath because he didn't have a White House dog?

2020-11-17 15:48:53 UTC  

pfft

2020-11-17 15:49:00 UTC  

so what?

2020-11-17 15:49:10 UTC  

dogs are great and all

2020-11-17 15:49:23 UTC  

but not everyone needs a doggo

2020-11-17 15:49:27 UTC  

They made this big deal about how apparently only psychopaths don't like dogs, so apparently anyone with an allergy or that doesn't want to deal with dog hair and stuff is insane.

Are Indian mascots offensive

2020-11-17 15:49:45 UTC  

Yes or no

2020-11-17 15:49:46 UTC  

Dot or feather?

2020-11-17 15:49:48 UTC  

No

2020-11-17 15:50:04 UTC  

representation is good, unless the left says nah

2020-11-17 15:50:22 UTC  

@mikeflarkin dot? Hotel or gas station?

2020-11-17 15:50:34 UTC  

I’m on a call right now discussing whether we should get rid of our mascot 

2020-11-17 15:50:39 UTC  

It’s an Indian

2020-11-17 15:50:48 UTC  

Personally I don't think they're racist unless they're actually racist. Like if the Indians mascot started drinking whiskey and gambling before attempting to scalp an opponent, then it's maybe a bit racist.

2020-11-17 15:50:50 UTC  

What argument should I make

2020-11-17 15:51:19 UTC  

because getting rid of respectable, representation is evil

2020-11-17 15:51:20 UTC  

Mascots are always going to seem a little racist because they have to be caricatures.

2020-11-17 15:51:44 UTC  

but hey, if done right and used for fun it's okay

2020-11-17 15:51:55 UTC  

I mean make fun of everyone right?

2020-11-17 15:52:00 UTC  

But my thing is if they don't do anything racist, why are we judging a book by it's cover?

2020-11-17 15:52:15 UTC  

> What argument should I make
@Emerald if the mascot propogates a falsity or stereotype (such as casinos, drinking, or otherwise disrespecting their dignity) of the Native American people then by all means it needs to be removed. If it otherwise simply utilizes some aspect about them or their cutlure (such as the warrior mentality or traditional headdress) then it is not offensive and therefore should not be taken down

2020-11-17 15:52:43 UTC  

like how does removing a culture from media help?

2020-11-17 15:53:15 UTC  

It doesn't. The Land O Lakes native American lady wasn't racist but they got rid of her, now there's one less example of representation in every day life.

2020-11-17 15:53:18 UTC  

it doesnt, its like removing afircan americans enslaving others in history books, it pushes a narrative or idea of what history is believed to be rather then what actually happeeed

2020-11-17 15:53:43 UTC  

they want a big bad wolf

2020-11-17 15:54:06 UTC  

not just leaving things as "humans are all scummy"

2020-11-17 15:54:21 UTC  

petition to privatize public school education down to the local state level without federal influence beyond credit hour audits and make it a completely independent process

2020-11-17 15:54:25 UTC  

they need the cute little pigs and a big bad wolf in media

2020-11-17 15:54:58 UTC  

and they won't mention how destructive the pigs are to the other animals

2020-11-17 15:55:10 UTC  

just mention how the big bad wolf eats them

2020-11-17 15:55:27 UTC  

even though we humans like bacon and porkchops

2020-11-17 15:57:14 UTC  

history should not be dramatised of good vs bad

2020-11-17 15:57:26 UTC  

it should be history

2020-11-17 15:58:03 UTC  

Exactly

2020-11-17 15:58:11 UTC  

Yup

2020-11-17 15:59:48 UTC  

like stop judging people for being products of their time, I'm sure something I do now would be considered taboo in the future
