Seriously the school in Arizona is a terrible example. I'm black and would be offended if a white person called me a porch monkey. If someone told me there's a whole community of black people in Minnesota that don't mind being called that or even that the majority of blacks don't mind it, my response would be cool, but you better not call me that. And the polite thing to do would be to respect that.

There are actually two. They're both on reservations.

And if you told me that for generations you'd been rooting for a team called the porch monkeys and the suggestion that the name should be changed offends you, I'd laugh and think you were joking. If this affected black people, people would care and change would occurr. But just as America has for centuries, we're continuing to shite on Native Americans and then claim it's okay because we let them operate gambling facilities on a fraction of the land that used to be theirs.
