First, if you ask the "Native Americans" their preference, they will tell you it is American Indian. Two, racism isn't determined by complaint numbers ala the South and African-Americans in the mid-50s on. Tre, it is the image of Pocahontas and she is dead. lol (not LoL)

"Kevin Allis, the chief executive of the National Congress of American Indians, a public education and advocacy group, said the organization saw it as a “positive sign,” adding, “We encourage all companies that peddle products displaying stereotypical Native ‘themed’ imagery to follow suit.”

“Americans need to learn the truth about the beauty and diversity of tribal nations, peoples and cultures today,” he said, “and discarding antiquated symbols like this are a step in the right direction.”

We are going to see more and more companies who have woken up to this idea unless they are purposefully attempting to attract racists. If the latter, as racism continues to recede, I hope the ever loving Hell they do too.

"They" is a pretty strong generalization here. Was that all of them? If so, and if there's one term that does the trick, wouldn't that undermine the very concept of "diversity"? Would it be possible for one group to have a longstanding conflict with another group who would resent being "lumped in" with the others? If one is insensitive to that, then is the person who insists on being PC, in fact, racist in making a generalization and denying diversity?

When and where does this road end? It never will.

I'm not doing your google homework for you anymore. Complaints are here. The other issue is that we are hypocrites for having murdered Indians by the tribe-load and yet now seem to liked them enough to advertise them on butter?

Regardless, the non-racists voted hard enough with their pockets and the racist image is gone.

Game, set, match.

Native American was ok with the tribe council i interviewed in dowagiac Michigan. They didn't seem to be offended at the line of questioning I asked about loss of their heritage through acculturation. I was humbled to even get to speak to them.

I've heard of a pocket veto but not a pocket vote, hard or otherwise.

Also, PSA: If one is offended by LoL butter, the Member's Mark brand of salted butter at Sam's has no offensive images and no efforts to disempower anyone. It is less expensive and just as delicious.

You must be a privileged white man if you can afford a Sam's Club membership.

every single one.

If so, and if there's one term that does the trick, wouldn't that undermine the very concept of "diversity"?

devastates it.

Would it be possible for one group to have a longstanding conflict with another group who would resent being "lumped in" with the others?

Liberalism requires continual grievance. Like the gay community is now LBGTxyz or whatever. Gonna need a transsexual Muslim black woman as President. Not sure where they go after that but with extra genders in play who knows
