A small town in upstate New York has decided to change its official logo, which depicts a white man choking a Native American, after the racially insensitive imagery sparked controversy.
Earlier this month, the town gained national notoriety when it voted to keep its old seal for historical reasons. Residents of Whitesboro voted 157-55 to keep it in place.

SGT (Join to see) - Sergeant; Since the logo depicts a friendly contest, there is a good chance that Whiteboro could get away with redrawing the rather crude image of the wrestling match.
On the other hand, they are simply going to have to change the town's name because "WHITEboro" is incredibly ethnically offensive.

COL Ted Mc
MSG Tom Earley - Master Sergeant; What does that have to do with the FACT that calling a town "White" anything is an insult to all the other races and is offensive?
I will give you that POSSIBLY the town could get away with changing its name to "White'sboro", but to leave it as "Whitesboro" implies that only "Whites" are good enough to live there.
Remember, only a franchise owned by Native Americans can use the words "Indians" or "Redskins" or "Braves" as a team name and those ethnically offensive teams currently using them should IMMEDIATELY stop doing so (or be fined out of existence).
PS - Please excuse the omission of the "Sarcasm Alert" warnings.
