Even deleting an unnecessary repeat post on the mobile version of this site is a chore. Before anyone else calls me on it, I am aware of how ridiculous it looks to rally against repeating myself in a post that is itself a repeat post. Kinja won't let me delete it.

I posted a response to this, but I don't see it, so I'll try again.

While I disagree with your logic, I found your commitment to the theme commendable. A few you missed:

I have absolutely no clue where you got "criminal" from anything I wrote. I've already had a pretty fun and reasonable debate about the place for cultural sensitivity and examples of where it obviously goes too far in this very thread. As I said before, Spacecoon's name was probably changed out of concerns for profit.…

OK. Third time's the charm. Aside from disagreeing about Owen's motives and background (anyone for the dismantling of the NCAA is OK in my book), I think you and I can find a good amount of common ground. We both agree rabid political correctness just confuses things (is a black man born in London and raise in Jamaica…

This is a test post. My response to this has failed to post the last 2 times. I am enjoying this debate, and I'm almost sad to see it end. If this posts successfully, I'll try my response again.

In the case of Starcoon, I think they care because it affects their bottom line. You're correct that Starcoon and Redskin are not a 1:1 ratio, but I think some valid similarities exist. As to the swastika, it does show up in some paintings of Norse mythology from before World War II. Thor has it on his belt in a few…

I did not know that, probably because cultural differences have made it a pretty taboo symbol here. That's actually a pretty good example of what the article says about changing the name of Starcoon. What's socially acceptable in one culture may be wildly offensive in another. I don't tell an Asian culture not to use…

While I understand the ancestral guilt hypothesis, I personally reject it. My point is it is not my place to tell another culture what is or isn't offensive to that culture. Really, I believe this regardless of past involvements, but especially when my view of history may be clouded by a personal attachment. I still…

There is a very large difference between being a racist and directly profiting from that racism in a very public manner. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and a belief system, I agree. I gave mine. You disagree. It seems that judging my opinion by saying everyone is free to one, so mine is invalid is a little odd.

He handled those steps pretty well for a drunk. Most drunks I know struggle with 12 steps.

Lee Harvey Oswald's grave is in Texas. Somewhat similar. He caused terror. A percentage of the population believes his innocence. The guy's dead. Let it be.

I'm a conservative, white, Christian male. I am the very stereotype of the people arguing to keep the name the same. All I have to say is this: if your heritage is responsible for the systematic slaughter or enslavement of a people, you forfeit the right to claim what is or is not offensive regarding that part of your…

This is going to get buried in the comments, but hopefully Barry sees it. With the absolute shit show that was cable news this week, Deadspin was actually my go to source for news on this. This means 3 things: 1) cable news sucks, 2) I should probably seek professional help, and 3) y'all did an amazing job covering…

To be fair, "dulce de leche" is Spanish for "Massive unintentional irony." Also, it is delicious.

The article, while exceedingly well written, seems to offer nothing in the way of solutions or alternatives. In a way, it seems to wallow in the exact same sort of self pity it so eloquently denigrates. If the author believes so strongly that the current dialogue is unproductive at best and detrimental at worst, a…
