You don't think indigenous people who are offended by caricatures of themselves being used as mascots is enough of a 'concrete reason(ing)'?

But I did ask you a question. I'll ask it again: Why is it more important to you to maintain racist mascots than it is to use something neutral in its place?

Did you have trouble understanding my answer?

I don’t give a shit about mascots at all.

They can change it to anything they want and I couldn’t care less.

My problem is purely with the moral outrage coming from people who are not in the group they are purporting is offended.
