Quote:I don't see how naming a weapon after a weapon could be construed as racism. Maybe if we were to create a 150-megaton nuke and name it "The Final Solution", but naming a cruise missile after a tomahawk is, to me at least, honoring the tomahawk in a way.

 

However, not all Native Americans used tomahawks, so that might be offensive to some them because the term "tomahawk" could mean a stereotype.

 

My point is that PC has gotten so out of control that it's starting to dictate and take over society.  The Washington Redskins have been around longer than probably 99% of the participants on this message board.  It's never "offended" anyone until recently, and I would wager that those that are "offended" probably don't have a drop of Native American blood in them.
