You're right, Red is the same as White, or Black, or Brown. Race does not define a person, it describes the person.
It's about American society deciding what's racially acceptable for everyone.
No, pale-face . . . it's not up to 100% of the population or the American society.
Nine jurists in DC also decide and have decided . . . just last week.
In this case, it's up to one white, male, judge.
As (you said) Red is the same as White, Black or Brown . . . should the Cincinnati Reds be next on the list of offensive teams?
Like your example of the NFL Chicago Blacks?
I don't even know what to do with the St. Louis Blues.
