Another reason why there should not be cultural mascots it because I think that people should just learn to be respectful and learn to respect what other people believe even if you don't yourself. To make everyone happy they should just get rid of them so that we just don't offend anyone or make them feel uncomfortable about themselves or their culture. There is really no reason for a need for cultural mascots, so lets just get rid of them.
Another reason why there should not be cultural mascots is because it can and does create stereotypes. For schools who have or did have a cultural mascot they would have had what it was and then could have changed it up a bit to make it look more "exciting" . But the way that can be taken as making fun of that culture and making people think that is what all people of the culture are like. So then that can make those people feel insulted in a way because you are making fun of what they do and believe in.
We should not have cultural mascots because it can be offensive to the people of the culture or just other people in general. People can take this as a way of being disrespectful or making fun of their cultural. Example: A teen at school with a cultural mascot that has to do with some part of there background. They could end up not wanting to go to school events because they take the mascot in a bad way and it offends them. Wisconsin is one of the first states that actually passed a law that there can not be any cultural mascots for teams or whatever the activity is. They have this again because it can be offensive and want everyone feel like they are being treated fairly.
I think that they should not have cultural mascots because they can be offensive to people, can create stereotypes, and people should just learn and move on from making cultural mascots because some people take them in a negative way.
