The bottom line is that "squaw" is on the fast track to oblivion. As a
racial slur it leaves much to be desired, not the least of which is
recognition.

Nope, it's a racial slur without a doubt. That's not even
a debatable point. Well, I won't debate it with you at any
rate, as far as I'm concerned it's a racial slur and that's
that.

Well my squaw doesn't object and that counts for more than some
hypersensitive liberal white-boy from cornfield land.

With all due respect. ;-)

I suggest you visit one of the many Wisconsin reservations,
take up a seat in the casino bar and argue away. Take that
old fool McIntosh with you and don't forget the trip report.
And pictures, LOL !!!!, take lots of pictures.

I've been to some of the Wisconsin reservations. Been to a lot of
bars......never in a casino, though. Been to a few private homes, too.
Used to share office space at UWSP with the Native American Center. Just
checked their website. I see Sharon Cloud is still there. Mary Tsosie is
gone. So is Larry Waukau. They were an interesting bunch of folks. We
used to talk. Never found much to argue about. They'd have gotten a real
kick out of you.

Give it another 20 years and, if it is used at all, it will
engender about as much shock and opprobrium (and, again, recognition) as
does "gypped" as a synonym for cheated, bilked, etc. (bonus points will
be awarded to anyone who gets the connection .


oooh...oooh... "gypsies"... i get to fish the left side of the stream in
september.

I was gonna let you do that anyway.

Your **** is in the minority.

With all due respect. ;-)

Likewise, I'm sure. ;-)

I don't doubt that for a moment, I've always found you
to be quite civil in person, it's your Usenet persona
that's sociopathic.

If you don't know that squaw is an offensive racial slur
then what you know, no matter how much, is just flat wrong.

See, this is what comes of the belief that holding a foreign compact dic in
one's hand is the same thing as having a grasp of one's native tongue.

Wolfgang
who, contemplating all of the senseless racial strife that could have been
averted had the authors of the hays code had a compact dic of their own, can
only shake his head in dismay.

Like I told Choc, you can argue etymology but you cannot
argue the fact that it's an offensive racial slur.

It seems to me that the use of offensive racial slurs
should be discouraged rather than encouraged.

No way forward......and no way back......and the more you struggle, the
faster you sink.

Scary stuff, huh?
