Viking Beard Hat
I am of Nordic descent and I am offended by sports teams that have Vikings as mascots, how do I protest this?
I am tired of my heritage being paraded around in the form of some stereotypical blonde bearded charicature with a large hat with horns. This nonsense must stop! Until the day where we have mascots devoid of any stereotype of any race whatsoever the world will be an unsafe place for children and we will be at the verge of a nuclear winter. Who's with me!?
I would argue that the use of one mascot vs another can't necessarily be equated in those terms... as being comparable, since people of Nordic descent haven't endured centuries of oppression, genocide, and prejudice, or had their country stolen out from under them, or been traded blankets intentionally contaminated with small pox. The mascot you mention just doesn't carry the same historical freight as other mascots... especially since there are no Vikings living today as an identifiable group.
