LaLa ? It's Louisiana-Monroe, not Louisiana-Lafayette.

They should appeal being Louisiana-Monroe...and vote on just being the University of the Indians.

So, they are going to stop calling the school the reservation, blah blah...

When is the MLB going to crack down on the Cleveland Indians?

And what about the Washington Redskins? And I think northerners everywhere should be offended by the New York Yankees.

The Fighting Irish is pretty bad, too. I'm offended.

----Cajuns could be considered an Indian related word...... it is a combo word of French Acadians and Indian (Injuns). The mixing of the groups appeared as a result of the French and Indian War when Acadians moved to the swamps of Lousiana and group came out Cajuns. More social correctness....geeez. The acticle is about La.Monroe however.

-----------From Wilpedia----

The Cajuns who settled in south Louisiana originally did so in the area just west of what is now New Orleans, mainly along the Mississippi River. Later, they were moved by the colonial government to areas west and southwest of New Orleans, into the swamps and prairies shared with the Attakapa and Chitimacha Native American tribes. There they remained somewhat secluded until the early 1900's

"Cajuns" is definitely a "racial" word.
