Except that's not what I'm basing my argument on. I was simply suggesting that if he believes that Native Americans are wrong, and that "Redskin" is an appropriate term, then he should feel comfortable using that very term.
But hey, nice red herring. I get it, you're a privileged white man who knows more about what minorities have a right to take issue with than those minorities do. Must be a nice position to be in.
