Cherokee Nation asks Jeep to rename their Cherokee line

[Anonymous]

Full disclosure, I have found Jeep drivers to be entitled, low key a$$holes, and so I am coming to this subject with a little hostility toward Jeep already. This isn’t helping their image.

I totally agree with them. If they find it offensive, it's gotta go.

Good. It’s totally gross.

I’m Jewish and let me tell you if a car company tried to name their SUVs Ashkenazi, Mizrahi and Sephardic — well they wouldn’t even dare.

But corporations have been raiding Native culture to make money for way too long and it needs to stop.

BFT.

Should never been named that in the first place.

I'm sure they saw that coming.

Now, how 'bout them Fighting Irish?

I agree. Jeep ought to have consulted with the tribe before reintroducing the name in 2013. This isn't an honor; they are profiting from the tribe's name, without any benefit to the tribe. They should have taken an page from FSU and their relationship with the Seminole Tribe.

or just do what the redskins did for a number of years pony up some cash to keep them saying it isn't offensive. I guess the Jeep money train ran out.

The Irish aren't offended.

Ah, whataboutism exists in Cars and Transporation, not just Politics? Wow.

OP. Also a Viking descendant living in Viking territory who understand that she’s part of the dominant white culture and isn’t offended by “the Vikes.”

Add the VW Touareg to the list.

They should change the name, but it won’t stop me from buying another wrangler or a CJ next time the need arises.

Well, to be fair, we are talking about Vikings who probably lacked sensibility.

That’s such a good point.
