@benjohnson It sure would be nice if some of the sports teams with native people as mascots would use this opportunity to make changes as well.

@grayareas It was so jarring to see the Washington Racial Slurs try to make a BLM statement on social media. Like, how much self-awareness must you lack to do that? (Rhetorical question.)

@benjohnson That’s great news! I’ve wondered how they haven’t done this before. In my country we have had, (until recently), spices named “Hindu” and “Black Boy”. I think they’re gone now.
