Well, while I personally find the term "redskin" as offensive as if someone called blacks "BlackSkins"...

But, you see, that would never happen. People know better than to say things like that. For some reason, many people seem oblivious to ethnic slurs when it comes to American Indians. They don't even seem to be aware of what they're saying. I see it all the time on FreeRepublic, and it drives me crazy.

P.S. To qualify my remarks: I don't think that the group of individuals who came up with the team name "Washington Redskins" intended it to be disparaging. I just can't imagine that.
