N/S Redskins likely to change name..What would be a good one? (Update: Redskins to announce name change)

And accomplish what, exactly? It's a university in Acadiana where people chose a mascot that commemorates their own identity and regional culture.

So because a SID made the decision to change the nickname to Ragin Cajuns 60 years ago, that means all Cajuns today are cool with that being a college nickname? They already had to retire the Cajun Man mascot because it was called racist.

The first Ragin’ Cajun mascot was Cajun Man:

cajun man

This was protested by African American activists who resented the association of the multi-racial and -ethnic University with a white ethnicity. From another perspective, the mascot was questioned on the grounds that “Cajun” had once been a nasty racial slur.
