Log, my objection toâ€Indian (feather)†was not to “Indian†but to “feather.â€
But Log has made a point that I’ve been thinking about: the difficulty is not so much what is said but what is heard.
The problem with that, of course, Is ignorance. Words used in ignorance can often be as offensive as if they are used with intent.
Similarly (and Greger, you know, I hope, that there is absolutely no malice in this) if you say you have real knowledge of racism, mostly from the racist side, then you are saying you have much less knowledge from the point of view of those affected. I may well be reading you wrong.
