And you start and proceed to argue over a word. The term 'etymology' is even used. What you aren't here to do is argue with any intellectual honesty, I'd say.
The thread is about the term Native American being wrong and dishonest. One of your responses was to say the word "native" is a comparative term. That's the word games I'm referring to.
Dishonest again. I never used the word 'troll' in a post referring to you.
You called me a racist, even though you weren't prepared to say which race you are accusing me of bashing.
Why do you care so much, then, about what word is used to refer to the indigenous people of America, collectively?
Perhaps it is because (a) they are no more indigenous to this land than anyone else, (b) Indians get VERY indignant when you try to define them collectively. Pretty much the term "Native American" does just that. And it isn't even a correct term.
Your rhetorical purpose is to invalidate the entire politics of the quest for racial justice. It's an inherently racist project.
Racial justice? What would you define as racial justice?
To do that, you have to come up with a race. Are you now lumping ALL Indian tribes into ONE RACE, when they don't even speak the same language, worship the same god, etc? How does that work.
I apologize up front from veering off topic here, but when you said racial justice, are you about to uncap the Pandora's Box of Slave Reparations? That kind of racial justice?
If that's the case, are you going to demand that pretend Vice President Harris pay her fair share of slave reparations since her grandfather owned and sold slaves in Jamaica?
Again, I apologize for going off topic, but racial justice just opens a can of worms.
