That is trotsky's department. Please ask him.



No comment on Bob Morion's horse**** response, then?


trostky has pronounced the answer. You are to refer to native
Americans as "horse****".


Hey, at least they don't congregate in ****** piles. On another note, I
don't see Krueger around. Did that borg campaign finally come to
fruition?

He's on vacation. I suggest that we enjoy it while it lasts and just
forget about him for a week.

Exept for a disgusting racist uttering nobody has offered an answer to my
question. Maybe that doesn't matter, me getting an anwer, but in general it
seems like a post will survive a max of 5 re : whatever, before the whole
thing degenerates into yet another flamefiesta.

To answer your original question, regardless of what Mr. McKelvy said,
Native American is entirely appropriate. You can also say Indian, or
American Indian. You should *not* however, refer to an Indian male as
"Chief" or a female as "Squaw" unless you want a punch in the nose.
