Of course, it doesn't agree with your view, therefore must make embellishments (including gratuitous use of the n word) and be condescending to those who dare disagree, hence your discussion with other members on this page who couldn't fathom why someone would think differently.

Wait... You have information that says Native Americans don't find the term Redskin racist?!?!?!
Why haven't you posted it? You've posted polls, but nothing that has said that the term Redskin isn't racist. Can you like it for me?
I'm going on the groups that have spoken out against it. Such as:
Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians
Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma
Comanche Nation of Oklahoma
The Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation (Washington)
Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians (Michigan)
Hoh Indian Tribe
Inter Tribal Council of Arizona
Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes
Juaneņo Band of Mission Indians (California)
Little River Band of Ottawa Indians (Michigan)
Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians, Gun Lake Tribe (Michigan)
Menominee Tribe of Indians (Wisconsin)
Oneida Indian Nation (New York)
Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin
Na###o Nation Council
Penobscot Nation
Poarch Band of Creek Indians
Samish Indian Nation (Washington)
Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians (Michigan)
Shoshone-Bannock Tribes (Idaho)
Standing Rock Sioux Tribe (North Dakota)
The Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation (North Dakota)
United South and Eastern Tribes (USET)
But I'm willing to have my mind changed. Show me the evidence
Also any discussion about race is about respect. You have to respect others, if you don't think a potential racial slur is about respect you don't understand the argument.
