The Internet is not impressed with the Washington Redskins’ “Happy Thanksgiving” message on Twitter.
The tweet is more than a little ironic, given that “redskins” is a racial slur for Native Americans, and Thanksgiving is a holiday that supposedly commemorates a day of peace between Native Americans and the Pilgrims. (Of course, as any historian will tell you, the truth is a lot more complicated.)
The insensitivity was not lost on the many people who retweeted and replied to the message.
