The term "Redskins" is considered offensive because it perpetuates stereotypes and derogatory images of Native Americans. It reduces a diverse group of people to a racial slur and promotes cultural appropriation. Many Native American advocates argue that the term disrespects their heritage and perpetuates historical injustices. Consequently, many organizations and individuals have called for the name to be changed to promote respect and inclusivity.
