Quote: i do remember having a fight about proper use or identification of the word indian/injun. (which is no different than calling someone cajun.)
Well, there is a difference. Native Americans object to the term ‘injun’, while Cajuns don’t object to being called ‘Cajuns’.
I know, I know - both terms stem from mispronunciations (of ‘Indian’ and ‘Acadian’ respectively), but so what? ‘N*gger’ comes from a mispronunciation of ‘negro’ - that doesn’t mean it’s a proper appellation to use of someone.
