It also strikes me as kind of odd that only groups that have been historically victimized get to air the gripes. Why can't I raise a protest against Notre Dame? Doesn't their mascot paint Irish as dim brawlers in the same way the Seminoles' paints Indians as warriors? Yet nobody chides ND. Why is that? Is it because the Irish aren't as easy a group to get behind? Are we that unsexy a cause for the Berkeley Crowd? We were victimized... "Irish need not apply."
They changed it from "Drunken" to "Fighting," though I really don't see much of a difference.
