Who better to consult when it comes to retaining an ethnically-offensive school mascot:
THERMAL, Calif. — A high school here is being pressured to abandon its team name and longstanding mascot — a sneering, hook-nosed Arab, sometimes with a single tooth — because of accusations that it is derogatory.
Granted, it's not a Native American, whom Lazich knows best how to interpret and represent for nick-name and mascot-design, but you get the picture:

I refer to it as the " Hurray For Bigotry" act...
