Stick & stones...
People need to toughen-up. Words are just that words.
Like most Dogs, I respond to the TONE of what is being said. Humans should respond to the CONTEXT within which the word is being used. BRAVES & CHIEFS are honorable titles in just about any context I can think of. When Cleveland had a farm team here, we had to change the name to REDSTIXX and virtually nobody knew the meaning. ( 'Native' Americans used them for signaling. ) 'Native Americans' needs to be changed to 'Earlier Americans' since us late-arriving, party-crashing Europeans wiped them out (aka 'genocide') so there you go...IMHO
