Who here is bothered by the term "Injun"?

^^ As do I. But the fact is- it’s still a racial slur. I bet there are people out there who have used “nig-rigged” and not realized it was a racial slur. The only reason that people don’t think of “gypped” as a racial slur is because Roma aren’t very vocal here in America. If Jews and black people were as hidden as Roma people are, it would be perfectly acceptable to use those other terms, no?

^ That is because in Italy, the ONLY job they were allowed to have was as loan-people. It was against Christianity to collect interest on money and therefore that is what Jewish people HAD to resort to in order to survive.
