I heard a questioin on drive-time radio this morning and maybe some of you can enlighten me:

Why is it that they insist on calling it 'Indian Gaming', but in all other matters you must call them Native Americans or else you're a racist?

Why is it that it is o.k. for the NAACP to use "colored people" in its name but in all other matters if you use that phrase you're a racist? For that matter, why is it that "people of color" is politically correct but "colored people" is not? Why is it that you will be called a racist if you dare to criticize black rappers can use "The N Word" and laugh about beating and raping women?

I used to struggle to try and find some consistancy in the rules of political correctness until I finally realized the single unifying principal: If you are a white male, you are wrong.

Heard the same thing this morning on KABC radio. Can we call them Native American Casinos? Why Indian Gaming? Weird. ALl I know is that no Indian I ever knew called himself a Native American.

'Native American' is a leftist phrase. Many of us prefer 'American Indian', with emphasis on the 'American' part...
