Response: Why?

The Casinos of the 500 nations have various names containing words such as Fort McDowell,Tonto,White Mountain,
Agua Caliente,Bishop,Chicken,Fort Independence,Hoopa, Kickapoo, Fon du, Blackfeet,Winnebago, Saint Regis,
Confederated Tribes,Muckleshoot, and on and on and on......


Is it because there is no money to be made of the brand name Eskimo?

I hear White Castle is dropping the "White" since it's blatantly racist!

Since there's no negative connotation for being "European descendants", such tags are not offensive.


"Don't hate us because we're beautiful...." [LOL]
