I think for a lot of people who grew up from infancy with ubiquitous mascots like the Redskins or the Braves, it isn't clear just how racist the mascots are. I mean, it's just always been that way, as long as you've been alive. Put it in a context like this though, and it's inescapable to all but the most dense apologist.
Group that opposes "Redskins" and "Indians" team names has now made caps (or at least put them on a poster) showing exactly why. Next: San Antonio Wetbacks?
