Irrelevant as those groups were not oppressed/subjugated for being Canadian.

Either way, you kind of cherry picked one sentence that wasn't really my point. My point is if the name opens up the logo to be racist, it should probably be changed. But the logo itself, what else is a designer supposed to do when tasked with making a cartoon Native person? If you changed the Indians' logo to a feather or a tomahak (both of which I beleive they use as well), it's still racist. So just change the name - especially since it's not even a real name anyways.

That makes your comparison rather absurd, given "Canuck" is not viewed as being a derogatory term by the affected group. So if the name is unoffensive to the associated group, the Johnny Canuck logo fails to become an apples to apples comparison.
