The edit is significantly worse. Now it’s tied to the Simpsons and feels forced. Paleskins would be better than Paleface and the aggressively generic looking white guy of the previous logo was better.
It’s actually very telling that it can’t really produce any decent white stereotypes. Shows how rarely they’re mocked. It would have an embarrassment (literally) of riches to draw from with pretty much any other ethnic group.
yeah I don’t feel like the redskins logo was making fun of native people in the way this edit clearly is poking fun at white ppl, the issue with the use of ‘redskin’ is that it is an offensive term and that it is inappropriate for white people to use the likeness of a race they oppressed and killed as a mascot
but really, i don’t think there is any fair comparison.

Plus, that character is obviously yellow.
This got me thinking … If anyone has access to AI generator of some sort… what would the resulting image be if you asked…
Stereotypical Caucasian man in cartoon style
Welp, I tried. The result (one of them, anyway) was of Trump on the t-shirt. Without prompting for it.
Edit: maybe one of these? I had to dance around the name a bit:
I’m on a sugar high from eating left over Halloween candy and I’m dying … my heart is filtrating … jesus
“Eat cake?” Where’d it get that from?

I fed it that term. It didn’t like when I used “Caucasian” or “paleface”.
