NCAA mascot stupidity can't be justified

But Carol Spindel tries, regardless. Rather than pass the ball to Spindel, I'm gonna turn it over to one of her commenters, who sums it up nicely:

Really, I am trying to care. I just can’t get there. The kids are right about Aunt Jemima — its a positive image! So are the mascots positive images. Native Americans have a right not to be discriminated against and a right not to be harrassed. They don’t have a right to be referred to always with careful sanctimonious reverence, and neither does anyone else.
