Unhappy The Orientals

Mine isn't really something to be proud of. A couple of years ago USA Today made a list of high schools with ethinic mascots and my alma matter East High was the only one in America with the name Orientals. The funny thing is their mascot is an eagle. They're going around the Rochester area and making teams with native american mascots like Penfield or Irondiquiot change their names to something less offensive, but no one has ever told East they have to change their name.
The High School the X-Cats are tied to,Wilson Magnet, used to be known,back in the day, as West High and was East's chief rival. They were called the Occidentals(whatever that is). Now they're known as the Wildcats(X-Occidentals would've been too weird for words). My wife who is a teacher at Wilson likes to tease me and point out that I'm no longer an Oriental, I'm a Wildcat. Now I can say she's wrong; I'm an X-Cat!
