Eighty-one years ago, circa 1932, nobody gave a rat's ass about who might be offended. Smiling-idiot Chief Wahoos an' shit were good fun!

You think any "injun" group in 1932 could have stopped the "Redskins" being named? You really think the name wasn't homage to some idea about snarling, bloodthirsty savages?

Here's an idea. Watch a movie from 1932. Tell me what you know about Indians from the popular media of the time. Watch a Warner Bros. cartoon for shits and giggles.

Much respect, I'm sure.
