I'd love for you to do it and record your findings. Let me know how acceptable and appropriate everyone finds it. Because after all, a middle aged white man telling them they shouldn't be offended by it is definitely going to work.
Please, let me know how it goes for you.

Such a poor argument. People don't like to be referred as a group. If you go down there and start calling them all Indians/Braves/Blackhawks/Natives, they wouldn't like that either. If you go New York draped in a Canadian flag and start calling everyone Yanks they won't like it. Go to Norway and start calling them Vikings and they won't like it. Etc Etc.
