Hmmm... not the question asked there big. So which is bad, 'Indian', 'princess', or a magical combination.

I guess my next door neighbor should apologize profusely -- to himself, interestingly -- if that first one is the case.

And tell me what the 'correct' term is to use for that heritage. Funny, I dont see a reply to any of the questions that were posited. Only apparently further umbrage at asking those questions I see.

Reading back, I see how you now equate that to me stating n---er at some ethnicities. I would hazard a guess that the term n---er is light years away from 'Indian' in a perjorative sense.

I also note the following:

In·​di·​an | \ ˈin-dē-ən , dialectal -jən or -din\
Definition of Indian
1a: a native or inhabitant of India or of the East Indies
b: a person of Indian descent

I guess Webster's is clueless as much as I am to the massive and extreme horrors of that word it seemingly enjoins, and makes you ask, no --- demand an apology for the use of it. Good grief.
