George Washington University dropping 'Colonials' moniker

evironmentalists? please, who do you think picked that fruit, this offends a majority of the minority
They should keep the name and just change the mascot to a colonial house. Not unlike if the Redskins had changed their mascot from an Indian to a potato.
The solution is to just shorten the name by removing "ial". This should appease the masses as everyone has one, regardless of your race, creed, color, religion, or sexual orientation.
Was going to use one of your go to phrases when I originally read this…Soft Served WITH rainbow jimmies ! 😝🌈😂🤣😂
The George Washington Platypuses has a nice ring to it, and should strike about as much fear into the hearts of their opponents as Colonials ever did.
We had colonial style furniture in our house for 30 years. We recently moved and sold most of our oppressive furniture and went with TRANSitional in the new house. Much woker.
No.
I think Urban Dictionary offers an accurate definition:
A very sensitive person. Someone who is easily hurt or offended by the statements or actions of others.
This has nothing to do with politics. Snowflakes can be liberal or conservative. Whether it is a compliment or an insult is a matter of opinion and depends on the context.
Don't criticize Jane for what she did. She's a snowflake and you'll only upset her.
I realize that this comment was intended as sarcasm, but when UConn changed its mascot from the white fluffy dog to the current one, a student wrote an editorial about how the new mascot was too aggressive looking and inspired violence against women. She later said that all the comments under the article which, pretty much, called her an idiot were harassment and sued the University.
This comment is underappreciated. It took me a second to go “wait what? Oh…”
I remember seeing that and agree that her argument was ridiculous. That said, I think the previous logo was far superior and the rebrand was a terrible move. The current logo should've been left behind with the AAC.
Bringing back the "Connecticut" home whites was a step in the right direction. Now bring back the logo that goes with them.
Got it. People who get riled up about another school changing its nickname are snowflakes. Thanks.
UConn had had a white dog as a mascot for some thing like 80 years. Our former president, Susan Herbst, made the comment that there’s no such thing as a white husky, which should have been obvious to her was an incorrect statement given the fact that we had at the time a living mascot that was in fact a white husky. The use of a white husky was unique to Connecticut. The existing one is much more generic. It was a really dumb move from a branding standpoint.
(Don’t get me started on this, it’s a sore point.)
Nope, the school settled and she got some nominal payment. Another thing that is best not to get me started on.

Glad I’m too busy guzzlin new Conshy Rocket Pop n blasting new Senses tune with Connie from SYSC!
That was before Amber Heard trial. You have people calling to cancel Pirates of the Caribbean.
Jesse Powel, Kraken CEO deals with the snowflakes:
"most people don't care and just want to work, but they can't be productive while triggered people keep dragging them in to debates and therapy sessions. The answer for us was to just lay out the culture doc and say: agree and commit, disagree and commit, or take the cash."

Elon Musk agrees with him:
"Powell isn't alone in his stance. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has similarly said a "woke mind virus" is hurting business at streaming giant Netflix, which also shared a culture memo with employees in May."

That’s not how it works. GW changed their mascot based on a petition of 500 names out of 25k students. Squeak loud enough on the left and executives will cave.
