All of the other names like Brave Blackhawk Chief etc make reference to actual people, tribes, events or whatever. Redskin is and has only meant one thing a pejorative term for Native Americans. It is a blatant racial slur

how does "braves" or "Indians" make reference to "actual people" they are just as specific as "redskins"

not true and in fact, completely the same thing as "braves" and "Indians"...Native americans didn't call themselves "braves" or "Indians" or "redskins" it was just how settlers identified a whole group of people without naming each individual tribe. Have people used it as a slur? sure...so?
what is a more accurate description?
redskin
or
indian
