[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is "redskin" offensive? Isn't it from the ritual face painting? Couldn't one argue that the name was given as a recognition of the Native American history in this country? Supposedly the head coach at the time of the team naming claimed to be of Sioux ancestry. Although the owner at the time (Marshall I think) WAS a well known racist... [/quote] Are you kidding me? Face painting? Seriously? You can't be this dumb. No one can.[/quote] Then please, post a credible etymology of the word. Here is one take (from 2005 WaPo): http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/02/AR2005100201139.html [/quote]
