HelpRe: Maverick
in reply to a message by Theodora'sMommy
Not sure if this is towards Ariane or me? If it is towards me, like I said I don't agree with using the term Indian for Native American but it is a word that is hard to get rid of completely, most young people don't use the term but a lot of older do, take my parents for example they grew in the 50s/ 60s and Indian was considered the correct term at the time, but I grew up in the late 90s / 2000s / early 2010s so Native American was more used, but I still heard the term Indian from time to time.
So I'm not condoning it, but I do think we need to give people so slack as the culture and language is more to blame and not any one person, as most know that it is bad but it bleeds so much into the culture that it is hard to get rid of, like a parasite you can't get rid of just yet you need time to wear it down until it is destroyed.
