Poli Sci and Psych are artificially high because they gatekeep their classes and force people to declare majors they have no interest in pursuing.

Not if there is a law explicitly addressing the particular behavior

It's not so much that he looks like a physical penis, although that's a part of it, it's that he acts like one. And it seems to come remarkably easy.

Ah yes, ok. We’ve finally landed on it. Honoring Native Americans by depicting them however we want them to look.

So no, they’re not special. They’re just like everyone else…and we wouldn’t do it for everyone else either.

And it’s ridiculous because there’s no generic European. And to think that there’s a generic Native American that wears a headdress and shouts out battle cries is also ridiculous. You’re not honoring anything other than the stereotype of a “Indian” most Americans grew up knowing.

I’ll ask you this: what does a generic European look like? French guy with a mustache and a beret? A British soldier with the red coat? An Irish guy with a kilt? Pick one. It’s a ridiculous question right?

You want them to honor a “generic” picture. There’s no such thing as a “generic” Native American other than to an ignoramus.

They’re the chiefs to honor the local tribe right? Or at least that’s what they say. They’re using a war bonnet that was worn by plains Indians….thousands of miles away. They’re not honoring native Americans, they’re honoring cartoon characters

Let’s nevermind the fact that the chief in the logo is wearing a headdress that an Algonquin (the tribe that gives the name Massapequa) would never have worn. You’re not honoring Native Americans by assuming they’re all the same. It’s straight up ignorance.

It’s a PR case study for the ages…but an intro level one because it’s so obvious how horribly he calculated things.

It’s not something more time at Tesla will fix. He’s totally fucked the brand and there’s very little he can do to fix that. He’d have to eat shit publicly for months to undo all the squandering of good will he’s managed in the last year.

3) It's really incredibly ironic how bent out of shape people get about these types of names and traditions being taken away when they are only in a position to do so because the land and customs of the people they seek to "honor" was once taken away in an even more meaningful and life-altering way

2) It's not about "honoring" the Native Americans who once lived there and named the place. If it were, the mascot/logo wouldn't be wearing the headdress of a tribe thousands of miles away.

Couple of things:
1) the name Massapequa isn't the "Native American" word for anything. It's an Algonquin word, one of hundreds of Native American tribes with their own language. That's like saying that "water" is the European word for the substance that makes up the ocean.

Also if you want BkueSky to survive as a legitimate alternative to the old place we need to have more than just political stuff happening here. The people I know who remain on Twitter are only there for sports

You know it’s stupid because Eric Hosmer agrees. You actually don’t even really need to think about it critically once you see that.

In that sense they’re not dissimilar from many other cultures who immigrated to the US. Italians, Germans, Chinese, all kinds of Slavs etc all raised kids without their traditional language.

Because they were colonized hundreds of years earlier. It's why my last name looks nothing like it once did
