I've never even heard of an American calling natives "Redskins", so the comparison to the n-word (which has long been used, and in the South, in a virtually every-day basis) is an overreaction, which coincidentally, accurately describes this movement to forcefully change the Washington Redskins' name. One huge overreaction. It's an attempt, mainly by the politically correct left, to see how far it can go in trying to institutionalize political correctness. I hope the team keeps the name for the foreseeable future.
