Ronald Reagan gave a speech once about how it takes one generation to change an entire culture. our younger generation do not know or care about their heritage and embrace letting white people define who they are. Then you get Indians like tonykane1 who believe being insulted is fine and separate themselves from their culture, to get whites approval. by the way, the "n" word is a southern thing, too. as long as white culture is still attempting to define who we are, they are appropriate in anyway.
Speaking as "white Heinz 57 guy" with a very small amount of Indian blood, I've never heard Indian or Injun used in a derogatory manner. Maybe I was sheltered but I've lived in Oklahoma or Texas for 50 plus years. Like DruryJ said, I always thought Injun was just a southern thing.
its not a matter of thin skin, it is a matter of your racism at its truest point. if you believe asking if I am a full-blood as a way of discrediting my argument, then see the first line in my reply. its all good with me if you are a racist, along with your buddies, just say so. Or, do not attempt to defend your point.
You didn't answer my question. Are you 100% Indian?
