The Fighting Whites (Later named the Fighting Whities based on the media mistaking the Whites for Whities) was meant as a joke to protest Indian mascots being used by College and Professional teams. It was started by a group of people that were primarily White, Indian, and Latino.
The stunt both backfired... and was genius...
It backfired for the cause because it became hugely popular. It was taken as funny, not racist.
It was genius because it became so popular that they commercialized it, sold T-shirts, and became millionaires.
