In the world today we think its OK to have someones culture mocked and made into a symbol. In class we watched a film about a lady that worked at that university of Illinois. She went to a basketball game with her kids and saw the pregame dance. The dance had been a tradition for many years. The person that played the Native American hero was a white graceful dancer. She started to feel uncomfortable, so she decided to protest against the mascots. Here are some other Mascots of Indians around the country!

i believe that the indian sport logos are misrepresenting all native people to the fullest. If there was a sports team that was called the "crackers" and a white person was the mascot then there would be a problem. why is it that when anyone except a white person is being violated then its okay? i think its because it doesnt affect as many people so it isnt a big deal
