At the doctor's today had a conversation with the nurse
I wore a Cleveland Indians sweatshirt little chilly out and the nurse said I can't believe they're changing the name to the Guardians they should have left it the Indians because they were honoring a player for the Indians who was Indian. I wanted to say something but I didn't want to get into an argument I just can't believe the stupidity

5. call it out regardless
I would have said, for example, "I am surprised you are able to dress yourself".

meh...

Why does Tribetime have an Indians sweatshirt to begin with?  Either their screen name is appropriation and racist, or they are a traitor to their indigenous ancestors for supporting that evil caricature.

I was going to point that out too. Irony, thy name is DU.

No snappy come-back.

No astounded and silenced Trumpista.

No cops popping out from behind fake ficuses.

No clapping waiting room by-sitters.

Didn't even start the :bouncy: with, "So"!

We Cavers need to demand higher quality :bouncy: -fiction from DUpipo!

     I still fail to see how the name "Indians" is racist when they are referred to as "Indians" every day of the week in other settings. I also fail to see how a depiction of a smiling indian on the logo is racist. Don't indians smile?
