There is a large body of interesting literature, from Native Americans
and others, which states that the word "squaw" was never considered an
insult by Indians. ...

It's not only an insult it is a racial slur. Perhaps you should
read some of that literature instead of just Googling the surface
of it before you presume to pontificate from afar on a subject of
which you are obviously ignorant.


I read quite a bit of it, I even bought a number of excellent books
about American Indians, because I found them fascinating, and in very
many ways I admire them. ...


Your own words illustrate your profound ignorance far better than
anything I could ever say.

Carry on.
