How should we decide what is offensive?
For this issue, I think the best way to deal with it is to base the decision off of the reactions of the public to the mascot. If the mascot is causing a lot of controversy in an area, I think that the best thing and the most respectful thing is to change the mascot or get rid of it. If there is no controversy then I don't necessarily think the mascot is an issue, a mascot is something schools and universities are really proud of and honor a lot. Unless people feel negatively targeted as Native Americans because of the mascot, there is no reason to get rid of it.
