95. I saw the post...

I don't think the the Fighting Irish thing is a very good argument
for the continuation of Indian mascots.

I believe that the majority of people who choose that name
at Notre Dame were Irish so were not exploiting anyone else.

I don't thing that the Celtics is very offensive to anyone
at least I have never heard any one use it in a derogatory way.

I can't say the same about Brave or Chief both I have heard used
as racist insults by real live racists.

So I see the point you were making but I don't think it is relevant
to the question and jumping in support of point that was wrong
leaves you wrong in my opinion.
