Liberal Indians the most offended.

Shocking!

 

[Kevin12773]

I'm shocked I tell ya! Every "unbiased" news outlet has been telling me for years it needs changed because people are pissed.

Sorry libs but Mr Snyder says

 

[RegentDenali]

Sorry, but that doesn't matter. White guilt liberals and politicians pandering for votes will decide what offends and what doesn't with the planet.

I think by now, Mr Snyder is doing more than just flipping them off. Probably more like goatse, but if you don't know what that is, I warn you, don't look it up. Its similar to "mooning" but it takes it to another level that can cause a lifetime memory you don't really want.

I prefer Injun.

 

[jarntt]

I'd put you in charge of the next poll...but cowboys fan...

Name deemed Offensive...change it immediately. Oh and I have some ideas on the new name...

 

[jarntt]

They actually reached well over 5000 but only 504 were sober at the time

I laughed...but I'm not admitting it and going to give you one of these instead to save face

 

[jarntt]

which rez do you live on, dude?

a few nights a year this one

 

[Oldschool739]

It took 5 months to reach 504 people? Who conducted the poll...a pre-schooler on a tricycle??? I can do that in an hour

It says 504 people across each state, not 504 total....

 

[Oldschool739]

I think they used smoke signals.

Seriously, when we strike their name from teams and such, we can forget about them entirely. I've never understood why it would be offensive.

Me either, and likewise what is trying to be done to our history with the Confederate flag.....
If people don't want to remember it then quit complaining about it and keeping it going, but don't ask everyone in this country to forget soldiers that died defending their right to secession by destroying it's memory totally....
Most think the war was over slavery but more over the money that would be lost by the south's secession...

Yeah they ignore everything the flag represents and focus on slavery. Just like removing statues or names of historic figures from buildings that owned slaves and ignore everything else the person may had achieved.

No it doesn't. 504 total. Some of those 504 were in all 50 States and DC. But there wasn't 504 in each

"The survey of 504 people across every state and the District reveals that the minds of Native Americans have remained unchanged since a 2004 poll by the Annenberg Public Policy Center found the exact same result."

So you think they went to every state and polled aprox 10 NA people and moved to the next ???....
And that the Skins are celebrating over the majority of 504 in the whole US's ????
Then I'm surprised you can find your way home each day, dude.....

Why did I call them 1st Nations?

@jarntt is right. It was a sample size of 594 identified Native Americans.

Q: Can a sample of 500 Native Americans be projected to the entire population?



Surveys of this size can produce accurate estimates of any size population by employing “probability sampling,” where every member of the population has a known and equal chance of being selected. Such surveys are used to measure consumer confidence, the unemployment rate, political attitudes and health. The Post’s survey of 504 Native Americans has a margin of sampling error of 5.5 percentage points, meaning that if the same survey were repeated 100 times, in 95 cases the results would not be expected to differ by more than 5.5 percentage points. Surveys can have other sources of error and variation which are more difficult to quantify, including measurement error and non-response error and the fact that about 5 percent of Native Americans are unreachable by either cellular or landline phone. Statistical weighting to Census Bureau benchmarks helps correct for some of these issues.
