"Indian summer" & "Indian" as disparaging adjective

[Colin Bruce]

I'd like to talk about Squaw.  It's a perfectly decent Cree word describing perfectly decent
Cree women, French women, Japanese women, Arab women, Lesbiens, Mothers, Wives, Daughters
Grandmothers and every other kind of women you might care to choose.  A word only becomes
sullied in the minds of the people who speak or hear it.  We could just ignore past uses and
dignify decent words with proper use.
