This is a great example of precisely why we don’t take racism toward Native Americans seriously. We know what Black and Hispanic and Asian folks look like. We expect to see them in public. But due to years of genocide and insane colonialist policies, we don’t see Natives or even understand what some in the community…

I’m an Indians fan and all for getting rid of the chief. It’s time. In their defense, they used the block C hats most of the year instead of chief wahoo, I have noticed its absence in the playoffs though. As far as people dressed as “Indians” at the game, they’re just stupid

Lifelong Tribe fan here. I wore a Chief Wahoo hat from ~1995 to a CLE-MIN game at Target Field last year. While waiting in line to get my ticket scanned, a Native American with a sign that said “MY HERITAGE IS NOT YOUR MASCOT” rolled up on me without a word, but a look that said “Dude, seriously?”
