I will provide a link where a study proved that aboriginals did not think that they are offensive.

As someone who enjoys polling and worked at a polling firm in a different lifetime, I find the polling question offensive:

The questionthat was put to them was “The professional football team in Washington calls itself the Washington Redskins. As a Native American, do you find that name offensive or doesn’t it bother you?”

Hard to know what you are answering when the question is so articulately phrased.
