That's the best part about Europe. Everyone raped and pillaged someone at some point. Nobody was innocent.
"Included in the demands are increased recruitment of students and faculty, improved curriculum and ethnic studies, a permanent ban of grapes—and a renewed commitment to discourage Indian mascot fanatics."
This is where I have a problem, saying the individual groups are offended or not. It’s not about just Native Americans being offended. We should ALL be offended. IMHO.
So many seem offended by so much. Guess that is just the way it is anymore. If there is something that is actually offensive, fine. But people's random opinions are now offensive these days. Seems like we have become very soft. I'm guessing that will offend some as well.
I don't think society has become softer, it's just that in the past, people didn't really give a shit if they offended other people so there was little point in bringing it up. In other words, I don't think people are getting offended more today--I think you're just more aware of it than you would have been in, say, the 1950s.
