Is calling an Indian a Redskin as bad as calling a Jew a kike?

It's my understanding that "kike" is on the level of "honky," "cracker," "Uncle Tom" or "Tío Taco"--almost always used with malice. "Redskin" is only used with malice by rival football fans.

Good point.

Interesting that no one so far addressed the issue of whether The Onion went too far.

I always thought the word ‘kike’ was worse, but I am not Jewish. Maybe Snyder should go with ‘the tighty whiteys’.
