In spite of this, I am certain that if I traveled there, showed them a picture of Chief Wahoo, and asked them whether they think it's racist, I would get a unanimous "Yes" because it makes their people appear to look foolish in the eyes of people like me.

That makes the logo racist.

Now, sir, you will rebut, I am sure. Stick to your narrow viewpoint if you will but do not take my silence hereafter to be assent or surrender. I don't have the inclination to repeat myself in fruitless argument with "blind fools." I have said what I have to say and that is enough.
It can be insulting to many, I agree. Similar to the fighting Irish logo of that little idiot with his fists up. Being insulted or having a less than favorable, comical depiction is not always automatically racist. Some people can deal with it, others can't. But it's gotten to the point where every perceived slight is racist.
