I think I see YOUR problem here. YOU want to decide...according to your personal-and-assumed offense on behalf of [native] Indians, what should and should-not be acceptable in society.
Reno89519... we [Indians] can defend ourselves and we DO NOT need your “white-bread” support against any perception of bigotry. Can you say, “fascism”? I knew you could.
As I am 1/16 Chippewa (Pottawatomie), I find your arrogance quite insulting to the (native) Indians and tribes of North America [yes, we have no concern with being called “Indians”...just check out our gambling houses!)
We have not appointed YOU to be our protector. We did not ask ^you^ for a blanket consideration and protection from cultural speech patterns.
Serious inquiry
...from whom and where do you assume to “protect” Indians (Aboriginal Americans) from such words?
I say again...y’all white people be funny.
My Indian relatives, several, and American Indian friends, several, definitely disagree with you. But whatever.
