Fighting Irish of Notre dame? That WAS def a slur against those of us of Irish family not too long ago. The difference is we see it as a joke in 2014 and "join the party" on St Patrick's day.
Fighting Irish wasn't a slur though, it was something the mostly Irish Notre Dame football players sort of adopted...

These Democrats who want to ban guns are few and far between, and yet you talk about them like they are a majority.
Believe me, Yankee can be used as a derogatory term.

No, the difference is one is a regional term, that can be used as a slur, where as we wouldnt even be having this discussion if someone named a baseball team " The N$%gers ", why do people see the term redskins any differently ?
