U.S. patent office cancels Redskins trademark registration, says name is disparaging

[DrPhil]

MysticCat, stop ruining Kevin's routine. You know there are ONLY almost 700 people in the USA who identify as American Indian or Native American and these surveyors managed to find all of them. Ninety percent is not just of those polled. It is of ALL people within and across entire ethnic and cultural groups.

I tell you, those Weekly (Insert Group) Meetings come in handy to get all thoughts and ideas in shape just in time for surveys and for "my one (insert identity) friend is the spokesperson for her/his people and said...."

I'll try and do better, Dr. Phil.

Are you on the mailing list?

For the people who believe "those people" are just being sensitive, nitpicky, and this is only about political correctness, if that was true this wouldn't be the case:

Most of the above companies and organizations are not headed by people who identify as American Indian or Native American.

The trademark is a separate issue. I am more interested in the larger issue and the audacity of comments from people like Kevin.
