[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 811066, member: 55446"] Firstly, you're making the mistake that Tallshort made by not reading. I didn't say change the team's name or customs. I said that I think Chiefs should do more to exchange ideas with Native Americans, share the culture with their audience. Australia recently opened their matches with England with a speech about Aboriginal culture of the region they were playing in which I thought was a great move. Exeter should do similar. Secondly, it's not true that stereotyping of Native Americans has gone. e.g. [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-32447263[/url] e.g. [url]http://journalistsresource.org/studies/society/race-society/native-americans-media-stereotype-redskins[/url] Thirdly, as the above article mentions, there is an issue of under-representation too. It's not enough to make films about Native American history, films should be including contemporary Native Americans. [/QUOTE]
