Do you celebrate your culture, do you do cultural things? Native Americans hold pride in their culture, it is a religion. Does Notre Dame poke fun at your religion? I do not think they do! The War Paint, the dancing, that is all part of the Native American Culture/Religion.
"Maybe the Redskins are helping pay for new casinos."
That is an ignorant and racist comment.
Yes I do in fact celebrate my culture. Something called St. Patrick's Day.
