Should “The Arabs” Change Their Name?

"The NFL Washington Team" is not alone.  Now a high school in California is now being accused of having a racist moniker and is being called upon to change the team's name and mascot.

Coachella Valley High School is getting the attention of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.  The group has complained to the school district because the school's teams are known as the "Arabs."

The "Arab" mascot used is a caricature of a heavy-set, scowling, mustached man wearing a turban.  Click the link above to take a look for yourself.

The group says that the mascot is an example of "gross stereotyping."  The school has used the nickname and the mascot since the 1920's.
