Indians are People, Not Mascots

I think anything should be able to be used as a mascot.  People use mascots as representation and stand up for them, especially in schools and sports teams.  People admire mascots and have a positive spirit towards mascots and teams.  I understand that Indians are people and shouldn't really be used as mascots in a stereotypical "Indian" way, but it's the same for a lot of different mascots.  For example warriors... There is many types of warriors not just ones with hats and swords.  If animals had voices I feel like they'd dislike animal mascots also.  I think they should be appreciative that some place chooses them to represent a group of people, or athletes! People appreciate mascots!
