cant think what book it was in but reading about the Comanche if you saw them coming over the hill (if) it was best to feck off quick regardless of being native American,White or Mexican.
Okay, your username is a racial slur for Native Americans.
Really? No-one's ever mentioned that on here before.
If they have I haven't seen it.
Why would you keep it if you knew it was a racial slur? Actually, why would you choose it in the first place?
Charlton play in red. I have skin. I've offered - more than once - to change my name if people found their sensibilities so offended by it, but to date no- one has. You, I suspect, might be the exception. Complain to admin if you find it upsetting.

The comanche (Southern Plains Tribe) for reasons I dont know, were perceived as being the most sadistic of tribes in terms of torture before death. This may be the reason why there was a saying in the US army to save the last bullet for yourself.
George Custer had two major wounds. One in the chest and one clean wound in the temple. There is one school of thought that the temple wound may have been self inflicted or carried out by his brother Tom at tge last knockings.
@Redskin In today's political correct world, there are sone in America that find the term offensive. In recent years, there has been alot of pressue put upon Washington Redskins to change it's name.

No, this is a term that's been a slur for a long time. There has been a longstanding campaign for the Redskins, Cleveland Indians, and various other professional and university teams to change their names and mascots from caricatures of Native Americans.

Apparently they were the greatest horse thieves on the Plains -and that is a compliment not an insult!

Tend to go along with the suicide theory. In one account (from the Indian side)he was one of the first to be shot.

I know, Peter, there was no racial slight intended as any grown-up would appreciate. I'm thinking of asking AFKA if I might change my moniker to 'Paleface'. Good luck with your project, it sounds fascinating.

I dont have an issue with your CL name but just thought that may wish to know of the feelings in the USA.
