How would you like to be called racsist names? To see a website that says it’s ok to be called rascist names, like squaw and chief whoever answered that thread wrote “you should read it again Cheif” I am not a chief and why assume all Indians are Chiefs? Can i get away with calling him a hillbilly because he’s from down south? O rignorant trailer trash?? It’s the same thing, ohhhh but he must asssume it’s ok because the whole darn country does it, apache helicoptors tomahawk missles, we are not “Squaws and Cheifs” or mascots we are Living Human beings, we eat the same way you do, we sleep the same way you do, for are Human beings for God’s sake!!!:smack::smack::smack: ---

\ **MOD WARNING** OK, **Chippewa in Michigan** , that’s quite enough. Do not open multiple threads on the same subject. I have left one thread open and notified Cecil that you wish him to see your answer. Don’t do it again. \ Open thread: [Comment on Cecil's article about "SQUAWS" - Cecil's Columns/Staff Reports - Straight Dope Message Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=500306)
