Now, I have an honest question for you: Where do you stand on the Indians?

Personally, I can't believe no one has made a bigger stink out of it. I find it offensive, and I'm not even Native American. When Stanford changed its mascot from the Indians to the Cardinal, I didn't quite get it since Indian is just generic and not specific to any particular tribe. And the logo was pretty non-descript. However, having read your quote of that article, I do remember some flack about how there was a lot of reference to the Indians being "massacred" in the press. I can see how that would be offensive.
