Times Readers Have Their Say on ‘Redskins’; New York Times, 5/25/16

Lela Moore, New York Times; Times Readers Have Their Say on ‘Redskins’ :

"A Washington Post poll recently found that nine out of 10 Native Americans did not find the name of the Washington Redskins offensive. Seven in 10 said they did not find the term “redskin” disrespectful at all.

The New York Times asked its readers, including many Native Americans, for their opinions about whether the term is a slur and who gets to decide if it is."
