And these folks? Do they count?

How about these folks? Do they count?

You're right, it's not the same. It might actually be worse, given the lots in life of Indians vs. blacks. Obviously, blacks still have to face racism, but they're not on dusty, desolate reservations with 80 percent unemployment and alcoholism rates.

And there are many actual Native Americans who do consider it a slur.

Lots of Indians, do think it's a racial slur:

I'm assuming you've never heard of a hyperbole. Good to see that you know how to use Google though.

Says the hoser stuffing his fat face with TimBits while trolling.

You Canucks and your tragic irrelevance. Life must be so exciting up there for you trolls to comment on every and I mean every single shooting in America. Well, when you contribute nothing to the world, you have lots of free time on your hands.

Have you ever been to Toronto? If we were to project the shittiness of that one city to your entire country, Canada would be an even bigger joke.

You need an economy larger than Mississippi's to make fun of America.

And if we didn't, you wankers would be speaking German today.

Sigh. "...There goes the oppressive liberal educated PC mafia again... waa waa... I want to still be able to call people "kikes" and n*ggers" and cat-call women in public and not be chastized for it. ugh. Stupid PC-ness, making life so hard for a straight white guy like me..." Boo-fucking-hoo, asshole.

Do you mix it in with the soup, stew whatever? Then it's an ingredient not a condiment.

Where did I say they were equivalent? I was pointing out the logical fallacy inherent in your argument. The point is not that they are equal the point is that your argument structure can be used to justify anything.

Greek Yogurt is food, not a condiment

Except that no one is being "forced" to do anything. Changing the name because of public pressure is... changing the name because of public pressure. Public pressure is not the force of law, or force of arms; it's just opinion. Basically, you seem to think that people's vocal dislike of the name, and publicly stated…

Oh, Reilly says it's not a slur. Oh okay. Everyone let the American Indians know it's okay to stop being offended — this white guy over here says it's not offensive anymore.

How about Reilly grows a pair and instead of using "Native American" in his article he used the non-offensive term "Redskin." Because ya know its not offensive.

Served.

Well that's just not true. According to this database, a grand total of 7 public schools nationwide operate without receiving subsidies from their school or state.
