18-Wheel Nomadic Transport Systems With Injuns

A couple of days after the last appearance of my favorite schools mascot, (Chief Illiniwek at the University of Illinois), i was driving to work and glanced to my right and saw this staring right at me.



(I'm not sure what i would have done if i could not find this image again. I can't fathom explaining it in detail, the picture is literally worth 1000 words.)


Now i'm not to sure how the indian people take it, but i don't believe this:



is any more offensive.


Things to take in to consideration:

-I'm not sure how the indian people viewed mass freight transport
-This may be a mural of a famous indian princess of mass freight transport
-Are the Indian people really the ones upset or offended by the mascots
-Is it really a bunch of really uber-liberals trying to save the world through the most diluted ways possible?

Why aren't people upset about the:

Bishops - with all the catholic nonsense these days.
Britons - C'mon
Centaurs - although i don't see any half man half horse's running around complaining
Corsairs - I don't even know what this is
Crusaders - Literally means "a warrior who engages in a holy war" there are 23 schools with this moniker. You can bet when the muslim population rises there will be more fallout over this.
Gauchos - anyone?
Grenadiers - borderline if you ask me
Ragin' Cajun's - Spelled correctly
Rebels - Sure because it's 1845
Sooners - aka cheaters




What do you think?

1) to your crusader thing your right i think, there was a thing like a year ago in michigan where people got mad that an all muslim school had their sports teams named the caliphs which you might know is pretty much getting upset over a team called the kings

2) a corsair was a ship mostly used by pirates and privateers, it was also a fighter plane in wwII

3) a gaucho is a cowboy from argentina

These are the same people that say the we aren't allowed to say "illegal immigrant" anymore. Now we are "supposed to say "undocumented worker" - what the f**k is an undocumented worker?
