lol someone asks for a squaw and we get a conversation on PC I love it here :-) Technically Squaw came about from the french and is only a deragatory term in some tribes.... My bio-family refers to themselves as Indians as well as native americans... they don't seem to care... Although why native american?? after all they didn't refer to the continent as America.... nor would they have liked to be bulked together as all one tribe... My sister-in-law is Bolivian and she has a fit if someone calls her indian, hispanic or Latino - the indians live in the ghetto she says (snobbish attitude from someone who milked the welfare system and dumped her kids on me) and she is a "true Spaniard" she says... I have friends who hate the terms Hispanic - what is a hispanic anyhow?? One friend proudly says he is Mexican the other is Spanish.... Interesting....
