I have never spoken with a member of the Nations who gives even 1/4 of a crap what some team name is and whether it's offensive. But you go ahead and keep telling us how to feel and what we should care about.

I'm not. If you re-read my posts, you'll see that. I'm saying there is, according to the study, a group that cares. Not once did I tell you how to feel, or what you should care about.
As for your first paragraph, I agree the conditions are deplorable. I'm embarrassed this has happened and is still happening, and I wish more people cared about it enough to provoke change.
