School ends “Indians” team name
Collège Ahuntsic has decided to change its sports team name from “Indiens” to “Aigles”. Item reminds us McGill ended the “Redmen” era recently but hasn’t yet announced a new name.

Since the McGill team names shouldn’t reference a color or a gender, or even a species (lest they be accused of being speciesist), I suggest “achromatic carbon-based units.”
I’m here all week, folks.

“The Units” would be a great team name.

@Blork I’m not sure which logical fallacy that is but it’s definitely one of them

@MarcG, give me some credit. There are at least three logical fallacies at work there.

@Blork: maybe it’s the combination of “red” and “men”? I mean, McGill’s official colours are red and white. How does everybody feel about the “Whitemen”?
No?
Does that feel… uncomfortable?
Then maybe there’s more to it than colour and gender.
