I guess we just never looked at it as derrogatory. That was before the government was around to tell us stuff like that. Perhaps we should have taken all references to Indians and other ethnic groups out of books in case we might offend someone somehow.

Oh, wait.......then they'd be whining about that.

Howlin,

I honestly could care less, as far as I am concerned we are all one race, HUMAN. Its the only race I check when I get a form that asks me.. I check the other box and write human. As for offended by some label invented hundreds of years ago that was wrong (after all this isn't india) so be it... don't call em Native American's either...

Proud member of the fightin whities....
