Would a cartoon character of a stereotypical stupid white guy....say Peter Griffen from Family Guy.....racist?

Why not?

Why is a cartoon of an Indian on a baseball uniform racist but a cartoon portraying a white guy as an idiot is A-OK?
they dont play baseball...

it should have been a picture of a buffalo hunter instead, not racist if the stereotypes are true

Homer Simpson is a characterization of a middle class white man. Yes the logo is a bit of a stereotype but so is Homer Simpson.

The logo will be around as long as any of us will.

Oh don't get me wrong...it's their business. Run it how you want.

I'd be leery of doing business with them though based on this development. To me, it shows a complete disregard/disrespect to the overwhelming core of their patrons.

Apparently it offended the American Indian Movement of Ohio which is why they wanted it changed.

This is the regressive left. They have taken over from the wacky Christian right as society's moral censors and judges of decency.

You'd be leery of going to a baseball game because they changed their logo? Okay. I hate to break this to you but franchises (not just sports) change their logos all the time. It's hardly showing a complete disregard to their patrons.
