A recent AP article notes that the University of North Dakota has to abandon the school’s athletic teams’ nickname, the Fighting Sioux, because it is offensive.

We wondered about other colleges with nicknames that may be ethnicity-based nicknames and found these:

• San Diego State Aztecs
• Central Michigan University Chippewas
• Piedmont Baptist State Conquerors
• Union College Dutchmen
• Lebanon Valley College, Hope College and Hofstra University Flying Dutchmen
• Earlam College Hustlin’ Quakers
• Notre Dame Irish
• Northern Kentucky University and Lutheran College Norse
• University of Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns
• University of Rio Grande Redmen
• Carthage College Red Men
• University of Utah Running Utes
• Alma College, College of Wooster (and eight other colleges) Scots
• Agnes Scott College Scotties
• Florida State University Seminoles
• Bethany College Swedes
• Indiana State University Sycamores
• Catawba College (and three others) Indians

This list comes from fairly comprehensive list at this Website.
