For the record: this German wouldn't be offend by the name Krauts.
Isn't Yankee also sone sort of slur...

Carpetbagger is more of a slur of people from NE USA...

Ok, I know this term from "Gone with the Wind" and I thought it was exclusively a sore loser South vs North thing.
Anyway, there is certainly someone who is offended by this, and thus we should abolish it.

But the Chiefs first...

Steelers...a stereotype against the working class - away with it!

And didn't PETA even sue a guy because of monkey selfies...

Ergo: any animal related name is an abuse and thus a no-go.

I don't think that they will stop with the Redskins.
