In Klingon, “tuq” means unbelievable. Don’t ask me why I know that.

You are correct, sir!

Edit

And for that reason, I do not accept the argument, because it is inconsistent and silly.

That is also up for debate. Truth be known, they’d rather be known by their particular tribal designation. An excerpt from Native Times, a self-proclaimed Indian publication in April 2015: ”As an Indian newspaper we must be very careful that what we call ourselves is not dictated to us by the white media (Native Americans). We have been Indians for a few hundred years and the name carries our history. Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull and Little Wound all called themselves "Indian" and they said it with pride. Should we dishonor them by saying they were wrong? Political correctness be damned: We will use "Indian" if and when we choose...”

I would suggest that is a minority and would highly doubt that even the Indian leaders would call that “the way to handle it.”

He asked the wrong question. His follow up should have been, “What is YOUR definition of a female.”

It’s only offensive if you’re not given explicit permission or if you’re not of American Indian descent. Kind of like another word that is used by some but not allowed by others and begins with an N. Either get rid of it altogether or don’t complain that it still lives.

Who said it was right?

I can agree with that. Out of touch too.

Agreed. And I was just referencing Mr. Unwoke’s comment, “I believe we’re closer than you think.”

So would Pat Robertson who predicted doomsday by 1982. Lol.

And I’m not saying you’re incorrect, I’m just saying according to some, “everything” has been lining up for decades…centuries even.

The same has been said and acted upon for literally hundreds of years. I’m not saying it isn’t reality, but I am saying it could be 10 years from now or a hundred years from now.

It’s more an issue of cultural appropriation vs. cultural appreciation. It’s all pretty silly from my vantage point.

It was being talked about way before Bush.

It should be called Tejas by the time Joe leaves office…

The same reason the NAACP is an acronym that includes “Colored People”. Try using that term these days and see what happens.

It’s still acceptable…but only if you are a black person.

Which is silly in itself…

Agreed. I was not considering Disney whatsoever. More looking at the actual folks who may or may not have been harmed.

What about mine? 😎

Like I said previously, I don’t care what they call themselves. It doesn’t bother me. I would just look at it through another set of eyes before making a decision.

Apparently the great comments did not come from the Cherokee chief.

Nothing like the smell of the grass when playing on a grass field though...
