A college buddy and good hokie claims Viking heritage and is proud of it. You may not know your history very well, but a majority of them settled in the Midwest / Minnesota area, hence the name.

And you are exactly wrong regarding my perspective. In fact, I was very interested in the Harjo case, which uses survey information from aggrieved classes. 90% of native americans did not find 'Redskins' offensive.

Always check the survey information before you pick up the torch for another class. Respect what others feel about their situation over what you feel. Trademarks 101.
