I want to articulate delicately and kindly, as I would to a friend, that I too would like you to remove Redskins merchandise from your line. I\u2019d like you to acknowledge the slur as racist. I\u2019d like to ask you to make commitments to support indigenous people beyond general statements, with concrete action.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I understand you might think this disapproval of the team\u2019s name is a new development, and that people are eager to be offended by everything in today\u2019s culture of allegedly stifling political correctness. In fact, Natives have been protesting derogatory team names and mascots since the 1960\u2019s, when the National Congress of American Indians expressed serious disappointment with college and professional sports teams that use racial slurs or racist caricatures as mascots.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In March 2019, on International Women\u2019s Day, Milano congratulated transgender women on International Women\u2019s Day. <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/alyssa-milano-tweets-about-being-minority-gets-emily-zanotti\/\">The Daily Wire<\/a> illustrated what happened next:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"13\">\n<p><em>But when a detractor asked if&nbsp;shewas transgender \u2014 a comment apparently meant as an insult \u2014 Milano responded by insisting that yes, she \u201cis\u201d transgender. In fact, she said, she was everything. \u201cI\u2019m trans. I\u2019m a person of color. I\u2019m an immigrant. I\u2019m a lesbian. I\u2019m a gay man. I\u2019m the disabled. I\u2019m everything. And so are you, Kirk,\u201d Milano tweeted. \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid of what you don\u2019t know or understand. No one wants to hurt you. We are all just looking for our happily ever after.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>After blowback ensued, Milano tweeted, \u201cI\u2019m glad this tweet invoked conversation. I\u2019m so sorry it offended some. I see you and hear you. But just a reminder, empathy is not a bad thing. Nuance is important and literal interpretation is not always intended.
