Have you ever heard anyone use the word "redskins" in any manner OTHER than when referring to the NFL team?

Let alone as a pejorative.

As a half-Mexican, I am offended by the term "Hispanic". It lumps people of various distinct cultures together into one but that doesn't stop the bleeding hearts from using it.

Have you ever heard anyone use the word "redskins" in any manner OTHER than when referring to the NFL team?...exactly right, and exactly the point someone should have made to Krauthammer when he was going on and on about "words taking on new meanings" - Redskins has taken on the meaning of the name of a football team in Washington, and certainly has no pejorative meaning in the minds of the vast majority of those who use it - and what's all the yapping about how offensive it is to refer to people by reference to the color of their skin - blacks might disagree.......
