Complaints that Gold Rush hurt indigenous people.
California State University’s campus in Long Beach is ditching its longtime mascot amid accusations of racism and officially moving to pick either a new symbol or have no mascot at all.
The university ditched its “Prospector Pete” character in September after criticism that it was offensive to indigenous people.
