can not be offended. They only offend. It is one of the great pc mysteries of life, but it is true. You are a white male and are only capable of offending, never being offended. So go back to your place and be quiet. Your speaking up like this only shines a light on those of us who are cowering in the corners trying not to offend, but do so just by existing.

You're reaching for nothing, Sam.

Check out the wikipedia under "squaw" for good background on the word. It's a contrived and relatively new offense, but so be it. I personally don't mind getting rid of the word. I just don't care that much.
