Quote (eboyd)
Just because Scandinavians do not celebrate their viking heritage does not mean that they do not feel mocked by the symbols used for the Minnesota Vikings football team. Now, on the question of whether it is right or wrong to portray a culture on symbolically through a sports team using charicatures I suspend judgment because I do not believe in moral objectivity.
im scandanavian and i dont really care what some americans do about the viking heritage, i jus look at is like the americans have no culture themselves as they steal it from the rest of the world.
n also, this isnt much of my business.. u can quote me on that after if u want. but i dnt think u should take any credit for being part native indian as u look like ur danish or something to me. i got spanish n portuguese from only 3-4 generations ago but i dont take any credit or notice of that when lets say spain won euro 2008. its just dumb its where U are from n ur parents. now i have cousins who r half swedish half spanish thats good for them but i wouldnt say i am. i wouldnt look any more down the line after 2 generations.. and im guessing u havent got a great grandfather whos naive indian right
