This is so stupid people are making a big deal about everything. Washington REDSKINS have had this name for years but now a bunch of sensitive people are making a big deal of it. And it’s not just this. A bunch of famous statues are being torn down because of this. Like people who are offended by this can and should just mind their own business 🙄

@@docnightmares8291 To be honest, I find a lot of the "snowflakes" and over sensitivity obnoxious, not to mention the increasing focus on identity politics over the last 10 years, which polling shows the vast majority of people are against - including me - but I've seen a decent amount of Native Americans say the name is somewhat offensive, while they don't care or even like the name "Braves", even if there's some in comments claiming they are and don't. They're not even "red", and it'd be like having a team with a slanty eyed stereotypical asian guy as a logo with the name "yellowskins". In this case, I think it makes sense to change it.
This goes to show they don't know what racism is

A high school in wa state had the nickname kamiakin braves with statues and paintings of Native Americans torn down because it was cited as a racism. After contacting local natives the statues could stay but they name and paintings had to go
Ignorance , the whole point was to give street credit to history and existence of native Americans. Natives even called themselves redskins to differ themselves from the white man

(Original title: Ministry of Foreign Affairs responds to the US National Security Assistant’s fallacy: he should read Marxist-Leninist works) At a regular press conference at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on July 15th, a reporter asked: The American President’s National Security Assistant O'Brien published a signed article in the "Washington Post" on July 13th that the Communist Party of China believes that Marxism-Leninism believes that individuals do not have Intrinsic value is just a tool for realizing national interests. He also said that the details of the Chinese Communist Party's suppression of Uighurs are heartbreaking, reflecting Marxism-Leninism's contempt for individual natural persons. As long as China continues to commit human rights violations, the US government will respond. What is China's comment? Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying said that I think Mr. O'Brien should read Marxist-Leninist works. The people's position is precisely the fundamental political position of the Marxist party. One of the most fundamental points of historical materialism is that the masses of people are the creators of history and the real driving force for historical progress. The Communist Party of China always represents the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the Chinese people, always serves the interests of the vast majority of the working people, serves the people wholeheartedly, insists on relying on the people for everything, for the people, for the people, and for the people as the supremacy. Starting point and ending point. Because of this, the Communist Party of China has enjoyed more than 90% of the people’s satisfaction and support for many years, and has become the only country that has developed into the world’s second largest economy without war, colonization, and slavery in recent decades. Hua Chunying pointed out that the Communist Party of China insists on the supremacy of the people and the supremacy of life. This is in stark contrast to the "political private interests first" and "capital first" of American political parties. It is for this reason that under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people are united, It has made major strategic achievements in combating the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, and protected the lives and health of the Chinese people to the greatest extent. And we see that the numbers on the "Death Bell" in the United States are still growing day by day. Behind every cold number is a fresh life. We are heartbroken for the American people. Regarding Xinjiang-related issues, we have pointed out many times that some people in the US have made the biggest lie of this century on Xinjiang-related issues. The so-called "millions of Uighurs were detained" was created by Zheng Guoen, the backbone of the "Research Group of Xinjiang Education and Training Center" set up by an anti-China organization funded by the US National Democracy Foundation and the US intelligence agency. In this regard, the American Independent News website has already disclosed. Hua Chunying emphasized that facts speak louder than words. In the past 40 years, the Uyghur population in Xinjiang Autonomous Region has increased from 5.55 million to 11.68 million, more than twice the number 40 years ago. Every 530 Muslims in Xinjiang have a mosque, and the total number of mosques is dozens of times that of the United States. People of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang live happily and breathe freely. Have Americans seen such racial repression and oppression? As for the U.S. false accusation that Xinjiang Muslims are living under close surveillance, and millions of members of the Communist Party of China live in Uyghur homes, the fact is that Xinjiang has carried out “national unity and family relations” activities in recent years, and the vast number of cadres who have been married have gone to the grassroots to share the pains with the people , To solve the actual needs of production, life, employment, schooling and medical treatment for them. Over the past three years, the donations to the people of all ethnic groups have reached 987 million yuan, and the donations have reached more than 51.12 million, and the practical and good things have reached more than 18.87 million. They have been warmly welcomed by the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang. This is also a concrete manifestation of the Chinese Communist Party and the people of all ethnic groups who have a deep relationship with the fish and water. The Chinese government takes the masses of people in mind and does practical work for the people. American politicians do not care about the sufferings of the people, only their own political interests, and they certainly cannot understand all this. Looking at the United States again, the ethnic minorities in the United States have suffered from bullying for a long time and faced long-term, widespread and systematic discrimination in various fields such as politics, economy, culture, and social life. As far as the American Indians are concerned, the US government has long imposed a policy of forced genocide, segregation, and assimilation on them. In the century after the founding of the United States, the United States expelled and killed Indians through the Westward Movement. By the beginning of the 20th century, Indians in the United States had plummeted from 5 million to 250,000. Today, Indians in the United States account for only 2% of the total population of the United States. After the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, the prevalence of African Americans is more than five times that of whites, and the mortality rate is several times that of whites, which highlights the racial inequality in the United States. The recent large-scale protests caused by the death of the American African-American man Freud also once again exposed the long-term systemic and serious racial discrimination problems that have existed in the United States, which has made the ethnic minorities in the United States "incapable of breathing". To the point. This problem is also very heartbreaking in our opinion. Hua Chunying said that regarding the various fallacies raised by the US on China-related human rights issues, we have published "All kinds of Fallacies and Facts About China-related Human Rights Issues," which are available in both Chinese and English versions, all of which are facts.
