All I was really saying is that in these times,us white people really shouldn't be using the term "negro," and it doesn't set anyone up to listen to you when you use terms like that. That one is definitely outmoded, if not "offensive" per se.
Squaw, on the other hand, is definitely an outright slur and is seen as such.
If you want people to listen, let alone be persuaded, HOW you say it actually does count. And saying it that way, even supposedly quoting someone, only makes the other side dig in their heels.
That's really all I've got to say. I said what I said as a friend and I'm sorry you feel insulted.
