Going on record on having no defense for retweeting the anti-Muslim video btw.

Random aside: How do Twitter retweets work exactly. If you retweet a retweet does it show as from the original tweeter, or is there a retweet trail? I'm just wondering who Trump is even following that he'd be seeing that tweet to retweet it.

then what WOULD make it a slur?


It would naturally become a slur over time if people began to use it in that way for random Native American people other than Warren.

Saying use of a name by one person vs one individual for a reason that isn't primarily driven in way that paints the race as bad, is a slur, is really just a thinly veiled way to try and strongarm people out of saying it by playing the race card.

i think the mistake lopen, deepspraw etc. are making is that they're saying "if trump uses a racial slur against warren without racist intentions that can't be racist" when... yes, it can be?


Close. One of the following needs to be true for it to be inherently racist

1. It needs to be slur (it's not)
2. It needs to be used with explicitly racist intent (debatable, but I think I've adequately described why I think you can give the benefit of a doubt there)

The major point of disagreement is that people are claiming many Native American people claiming it's a slur makes it so. I disagree with that. Continuing to say it while they claim it's offensive to them, makes him a dick to a bunch of those people, and not something he should do, particularly while addressing many of those people, but not inherently racist as much as an insensitive dick who can't read the room.

They told Trump it offended them and asked him to stop doing it back in May. He kept doing it and even did it literally right in front of them.

You can no longer claim he's using it innocently in a "just to be a dick" way. He knows it's considered offensive and still kept doing it


Continuing to be offensive when people to tell you to knock it off is being a dick. Them making it about race doesn't change Trump's motivations there.

It's easy to make it about race. I think you're not thinking critically though if you just automatically see race and just say RACISM by default.

Like I dunno, say I pretend to be a Navajo to get a discount on a shirt at some store that's having some wacky promotion. Someone mocks me for that. Is that racist? I don't think so.

Heritage claims are the reason he's mocking her, much like intelligence claims are the reasons to mock someone by saying Einstein

Like if you inherently think that mocking someone for doubting their heritage claim is racist well okay, but there's not really a way to mock that by NOT choosing a Native American and choosing the one the most people have heard of because Disney is the best one to pick, much like Einstein is the most prolific smart dude.

Still it IS different when Trump uses it, in a way.

Hes not using it as a shorthand to be dismissive of her heritage. Hes using it as a shorthand to be dismissive of her CLAIM of heritage.

Hes derisively calling her Pocahontas because, in his mind, shes NOT Native American

Its an odd case

Never said he was complimenting her. Doesn't have to be a compliment. It just has to mean something that isn't "Native American = bad" internally, pretty much. Which I mean, it could definitely mean that-- I think Trump is a racist. But just taking it on its face, you can't assume that.

If it, a name chosen entirely on race, is said in a negative/derogatory fashion to somebody of that race, how is it not a racial slur?


I already made my thoughts pretty clear on why it is or isn't earlier in the topic. You choose to disregard the point and that's okay.

You guys are confusing "context" with "projected biases of why you think Trump used the word onto him"

Which aren't the same thing. "Context" is why it was a social blunder. Speculated intent is why you think it's a slur, but if you have to speculate, it isn't a slur.

It is factually incorrect to think it's a slur

It's not factually incorrect to be offended by it though, which is what matters in the end

That being said I would be surprised if that's actually the mindset of most of the Navajo-- most Native Americans I've actually met in person are a lot more chill about stuff like that than the people who are more outspoken about stuff that's against their heritage or whatever-- just anecdote but always been the case with ones I've met. Like you get this feeling about a super defensiveness from the more intellectual types who are into that across the board, but then you talk to em and most of em are referring to themselves as Indians to begin with and it's like yeah.

Just anecdote, as I said, but I do think there's more of a contrast among the viewpoints of the Native Americans and their social leaders than with most. I mean I kinda get why that is since they have a lot of weird rights and stuff that a lot of other groups don't have, so you can't really show 'weakness' with a lot of things but yeah. Would be an interesting poll to take I think.
