I competed for drama this weekend, and the competition was held in Skowhegan Area High School. Their mascot is the Indians. No, they don't mean people from India. Okay, I didn't like it. But hey, I am always too PC, right? That's what I get told, so that's what I was thinking. I guess it shouldn't have bothered me.
At the end of day two, we went to the gym for some "fun" games. They were pretty lame, so I walked across the gym to talk to some of my friends. Then I saw the mascot painted on the wall: there was a Native American man in a loincloth with a spear. Like, are you kidding me? Cavemen wear loincloths. White men killed more people than any Native American people ever did. So why, then, was this picture of the INDIANS a simple, half naked, belligerent fool?
You tell me.
