N word isn't referring to colour of skin. It's a derogatory term for someone whose skin is that colourNig*** is a word that specifically refers to the color of a races skin.
Redskin is a word that specifically refers to the color of a races skin.
Both terms characterizing a race by mere skin color.
Names like Raiders, Cowboys, Patriots, Outlaws, etc are referring not to color of a race, but characters from human history....could be any color, any race.
Why Chiefs, Braves, are ok. Even tho sections of Native Americans want them stricken from use in sports teams. Really, theyre not intrinsically racist like Redskins is....because it is fixated on color of skin just like the word Nig*** is. And both have bad overtones (as Nestle said so well).
Redskin is directly referring to the colour of the skin
