I was about to rant, but then I saw the news source.

Same. Crazy how believable that is.

“Being a mascot is an honor,” Jerry said. “Unless, of course, your mascot is a Native American. Then it’s a shame. I’m still not sure how all this works. Anyway, we have realized it’s inappropriate to give a place of honor to whiteness in our team’s name. The word 'white' really has no place in modern society, so we have removed it."

i bet soon next year, they wont allow white cars either

all this stuff seems like they are trying to distract everyone from the real problem, racism is not the problem

the banking institutions are the problem

For a second, I thought this was real.

It's plausible. Truthy!

Microsoft announced a patch that will prevent white colour in Windows 10. 0xE0E0E0 will be the whitest colour allowed.

LOL, that's gray.

As someone who thinks all the controversy around mascots and team names is stupid, overblown, and only taken seriously by stupid people; this is a terrible analogy that demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of the original stupid people's grievance.

The white in this case has nothing to do with people, nor is being called white an insult.

A much better analogy is the fighting Irish lehpricon. It is literally two racist stereotypes rolled into one beloved mascot.

Leprechaun! LOL! Sorry, don't mean to be a spelling "nazi."

Auto correct did that. Not that I know how to spell it either. What a ridiculous word.

Good old auto correct. Yep, it's a silly word.

Sox is also offensive. Now they're called Chicago Socks

[–]TruthTeller 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

They eliminate white socks altogether, since they're definitely racist. Only black socks should be allowed.
