[Maritime Q-Scout]

I love the anti-PC jargon. It's like being politically correct is a bad thing.

Yes sometimes PC is goes too far out of context, but racial slurs isn't one.

One thing that I think is being argued effectively by nfotiu is whether Native Americans do indeed find the term to be racist.

Yes numerous tribes have spoken out against redskins, but are they a vocal minority, or is the term truly racist?

Personally I think it is and the amount of outcry is enough for me to agree. However, I don't know if this is a vocal minority.

I am totally fine with an accredited polling company putting together a questionnaire to find out.

So my questions would be:

At what point do we as a society accept Redskin as a racial slur? 30% respond yes, 50%?

Secondly, is it appropriate to conduct a poll to determine if n*gger is actually offensive to African Americans or has the PC police gone too far? Are there official statistics on this?
