Is Redskin a slur?

Among reasonable persons, yes.

But enter an unreasonable person, and problems may arise.

I've never met someone that objects to ANY term when used to discuss that term.
 
I bet they exist though.

And what does that have to do with the claim that PC suppresses "free and objective intellectual inquiry"?

THAT claim is a bit broad and generalized.

I'm saying it may do so in some situations, not ALL.

It doesn't do so under any situation involving "free and objective intellectual inquiry". Your only attempt to prove such was "well, some crazy people are out there".

This is true.
 
Actual men? What are you? An asshole behind a keyboard with a big mouth. Why don't you go to a reservation and start tossing "redskin" around and see what actual men will do to you.

Actual men do not make up claims of racism, pressure a sports team into changing it's name or go look for things to claim is racist.Butt hurt effeminate men and little girls do that.

It was always a slur, the team name should never have been Redskin and now that people have finally started to come to this realization it is time to change it.

That is a blatant lie.It wasn't until a bunch of effeminate men and little girls decided that the name redskin is racist.
