Tell me, how does getting rid of obviously racist mascots make your life worse in any measurable way?
Since color matters so much to you what color is everyone's face supposed to be? Any color you choose is going to be wrong to someone. It ain't about color like so many are pushing. Color doesn't matter or it ain't supposed to per MLK (and he is right).

You're right, it's not the color itself that's the problem. No one arguing with any rationality is saying it is. The problem is the caricatured, derogatory features associated with the color of these mascots in question.
Look at FSU. Practically none have a problem with their mascot because all their imagery is a respectful, dignified representation of the Native American tribe that inspired it. Not so much the case when someone's ethnicity is represented by a comically deformed cartoon.
