rac·ism
/ˈrāˌsizəm/
noun
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
I'd call using fake, stereotypical Indian language as a weapon to denigrate someone you don't like (even if it's for non-race-related reasons) to be pretty racist. Say what you will about my use of Nobody from Dead Man, but, well, A) He is a real American Indian (admittedly Cayuga and not the Cree/Blackfoot hybrid, but if Tizh doesn't make such fine distinctions when talking about issues relating to Native Americans, I'm not complaining), B) He doesn't dress his insults up in Indian stereotypes (even when he uses what the film calls "Indian Malarkey", it's actually quotes from the very English William Blake, and in this particular case, he's just speaking bluntly), and C) Well, it's not inaccurate in this case.
And since you said you seem to be on 30 day probation of some kind, I have to ask: has this led to you actually being sanctioned by the mods? No? Then you're just being called out on your bullshit. If you are, well, I have to admit, it would be a bit unfair.

Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.
