The Notre Dame mascot isn't drunk and is a [censored] leprechaun, a mythical creature of Irish folklore. How is that offensive or comparable?

The Illinois mascot is a white kid from the suburbs dressed up as a native american. How is that not offensive?

Yeah, where the guy lives is relevant. So if the notre dame mascot is an irish guy in the costume, it's ok. If he's mexican, it's offensive.
We're not talking about chief wahoo here.

I don't think anyone has ever claimed that the Notre Dame mascot is offensive. There was a black guy who was the leprechaun a few years ago, no one complained.
