if your point is "there's a lot of terms in academia that are silly," sure. i know media studies uses a lot of silly terms. what can you do.


Well, it's only a real problem when it's repurposing words or expressions we already use into a particularly negative connotation.

When people say stuff like "Whatever you say, Squanto," they're implying you're not worth being identified beyond your skin color/background/whatever and the generic name they've applied to those people.


I agree. Hence why I said context is necessary. But to note that's not actually what Trump did, either. He didn't really go into why she at times was called Pocahontas just mentioned that she was-- which again, bad idea to even mention given where he was, but not necessarily "racist" per se since you don't know the reasoning why.
