And you're talking speculation. Speculation is not evidence that backs up your argument. And in this instance, the only evidence you've cited is this poll that doesn't support your argument and one article about the origin of the term "redskin" that doesn't support your argument.
Meanwhile, you seem to ignore any evidence—such as the positions taken by over 70 tribes, inter-tribal organizations and American Indian organizations—that counters your position.
I'll try it this way:
You've reminded us before that you are from Oklahoma and are "surrounded by Native people." If one of those Native people was your client and you were representing him in court, would you think it acceptable or professional to refer to him, either to his face or to the court, as a "redskin"?
