Hawkeyes is a cultural appropriation from Black Hawk, the leader of the Sauk during the 1832 Black Hawk War in Iowa.

That you dare to use this name is a horrible, horrible racist offense. I can't believe the University supports such racist anti-Indian White Supremacist naming! O M G!

The Social Justice class will get right to work now on righting the wrongs of the past by eliminating the name BlackHawk and Hawkeye from the University so that a regime of safety and acceptance will reign over all the lands!

Thank you kind and unique Humyn for calling me on my insensitive micro-aggression against an oppressed and under-represented group of people. I am ashamed that my status as a hetro white male has made me blind to the feelings of others different from myself. Yes... yes, I will join you and a group of white male Social Justice volunteers and we will immolate ourselves at the 50 Yard line just before kickoff at the next home game of the "UI Football Team". Who in that diverse campus community will miss a few white guys? The good news is after we burn ourselves up - we will be Black!! Thank you. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!

status as a hetro white male

Fine. Fine. This is contrition. Good.

But make sure you are wearing a dress and women's make up when you pour the petrol and light the match. That is the only way to truly cleanse your guilt.
