got yourself a squaw..... I know you think you're being light hearted and funny, and I'm really not holding it against you but if
you talk like a duck.... or a misogynist or racist.... .... just hoping you walk like a man...
Lost, can you Please answer,
why, is is, ’NOT’ alright for WM, to say,
“…got yourself a squaw…”Yet, it is Perfectly alright, for you to say:
“… you're just supposed to believe them, they are white guys after all, just believe them..." did you miss where I said: "I know you think you're being light hearted and funny, and I'm really not holding it against you but " LIKE RIGHT INFRONT OF THAT WHOLE THING?? I mean you quoted it in your response here....
but if I have to explain it to you....
the word "squaw" is derogatory, it's a generic description for any Native American woman
from Wiki: "The English word Squaw is an ethnic and sexual slur,[1][2][3] historically used for Indigenous North American women.[4] Contemporary use of the term, especially by non-Natives, is considered offensive, derogatory, misogynist and racist.
so while I wasn't offended and wasn't angry at WM for using it, I was just trying to inform him that that word isn't technically acceptable today.
just a bit of education for you there. YOU"RE WELCOME.
and I'm actually going to have to look up the total context of when I said “… you're just supposed to believe them, they are white guys after all, just believe them..." since you've taken it out of it's context and I honestly don't remember, but that was probably my way of telling WM to maybe check his privilege (NOT CALLING WM racist or misogynist, just helping him realize that, hey, he was giving into confirmation bias and tribalism)
DA MN MN SPRINGS HOT AIR A LOT, you got a hard on for that phrase huh? musta got to you too, maybe though dost protest too much???
