make reference to actual people
how does "braves" or "Indians" make reference to "actual people" they are just as specific as "redskins"
quote:
Redskin is and has only meant one thing a pejorative term for Native Americans
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

Just as "Hispanic" which meant Spaniard (as in, Europe) to the Romans, now means people of mixed Spanish and Native descent living in the Western Hemisphere. Are you suggesting we call them brownskins instead?
