Yeah. Is the dictionary wrong? I mean, redskin isn't an obscure word. If it was offensive, it would have been characterized as such.
You guys are trying to rewrite history, but the dictionary from the 1980's is a freeze-frame in history.

History is constantly being "rewritten." Or rather, newly understood. My 90 year old grandfather vehemently denies that Japanese internment camps existed during WWII because he "never heard anything about it."

A freeze-frame of how history was understood in the 1980s. 20 years from now, we could have this exact same argument and I could say, "I have a dictionary from 2014 and it clearly states that 'redskin' is an offensive term."
