Nah....
which is more offensive....being chinese and being called japanese...or being chinese and being called "slits for eyes" or something along those lines.

Yeah, the U.S. doesn't have a good history with offending peeps, LoL, you are right about that shit L.G...
But they do try to go back and make ammends for their fucked up shit...I have noticed that trend...And, as a human who makes mistakes, I can only say better late than never...I think it is better to at least acknowledge it a little bit, than to ignore it at all...
And yes, the Cleveland Indians shit is horrible also...As raum said, that is offensive and ignorant on top of that...But, this is a litttle different kind of contorversy than say, the Confederate flag stuff that goes on down here...I think it is all about the symbolism nonetheless...Which is what makes it offensive in the first place...
You got The Lions...
The Bears...
The Tigers...
And...
The Indians..?
That's nasty any way you slice it, IMO..
