and what's offensive about the term?
is it that indians didn't actually sit that way? is it that we're referring to them as indians instead of native americans? is it that pigeonholing them into one sitting style isn't fair? criss-cross applesauce is just some rhyming nonsense, i could call it crosslegged eggshed and that would rhyme too --- i'm Trent B and i get respect your cash and your jewelry is what i expect ...

I grew up right next to a native reservation, they have never had an issue calling it sitting Indian style so it must have been white people. They do understandably however hate the term Indian giver

My only beef with the phrase is theres like no freaking way that in thousands of years nobody in europe thought to sit that way. How is such a natural position to sit in something that was discovered in the new world? It just seems ridiculous. Idk it just seems implausible

okay so then why is THAT offensive? Its not, which is why its stupid. Its seen as offensive because people incorrectly assume its referring to Native Americans.

Because applying an entire culture to one way of sitting is dense. Cross-legged is a better term. Quit crying that the term you grew up with is outmoded.

What I don't get is adding the extra "applesauce". I get that it's cutesy, but "Indian style" was not cutesy to begin with. There's no need to add an extra word.
