Being the majority doesn't give them the right to treat others as lesser humans.

Comparing the spoiled losers and insufferable complainers of today with people of the past that were ACTUALLY oppressed and greatly suffered is insulting to those poor, long-gone individuals.

What does any of that have to do with the name of a baseball team. And what tribe do you belong to?

and now the Vancouver Canucks have been asked to change their logo due to cultural appropriation. Luckily the timing is random and it's not like this has anything to do with any perceived wave of virtue signaling or social outrage stemming from being locked up in the house all year.

I'm amazed they've previously tuned out all of the Canadian native tribe's calls to right this wrong.

And what should this tell you?

Well, in the case of the Canucks at least, that would seem to be the case.
