The Sioux isn't a race. It's a tribe or rather a collection of tribes with similar culture.

And it's not as if that was the only example I gave.

Where are the aggrieved Scandinavians?

Where are the hundreds of years of systematic discrimination and denial of opportunity against the Scandinavians? Where are the Scandinavian reservations provided by the government where the rates of alcoholism, drug abuse, and poverty are sky-high? Could the Scandinavians somehow better their lives if people stopped using racist caricatures of them as sporting mascots?

Oh, you have to have been discriminated against to deserve deference? NEW RULE.

So we have Notre Dame's mascot the drunken' fightin' Mick. No one cares.

What is your point? Any group that opposes a mascot in its name has a right to oppose. As always, your white male privilege believes you need to agree and sign off on everything in order for it to be legitimate and substantiated.
