George Washington University students have voted to ban the name "colonials" which is represented with their George Washington mascot. The moniker has been deemed by students to be "offensive." According to students, "The use of ‘Colonials,’ no matter how innocent the intention, is received as extremely offensive by not only students of the University, but the nation and world at large,” the petition read. “The historically, negatively-charged figure of Colonials has too deep a connection to colonization and glorifies the act of systemic oppression.”

After consideration of the aforementioned petition to change the name of the GWU mascot, the administration would like to tell the petitioners to grow the eff up! and furthermore that the world does not revolve around your feelings.
Uh, yea, the US was a colony that fought and won its independence. Not sure what is so offensive about that, unless of course you hate the US...
Exactly. Washington and all the colonists were referred to as colonials. They bravely fought a war for their freedom against imperialist England, against all odds, and they won.
SJW: "Gee, what a horrible bunch of people they were."
Not sure who this would be but...
Who is the most famous black lesbian trans Marxist?
I'm not sure, and they do not need to have done anything significant in their life, cuz it's all about symbolism. But when they do find her or him, then watch out, that name will be plastered all over the place.
