Squaw Valley has been renamed Palisades Tahoe
In February 1960, the Olympic Winter Games were held in Squaw Valley, a winter sports resort in California in the United States of America.
Now, in September 2021, the name of the skiing resort has been renamed Palisades Tahoe, as the term "Squaw" has been considered sexist and racial against women of Native American tribes. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-58563002 |
Well the word has been a slur for a long, long time, so I'm surprised it didn't happen a couple decades ago. I'm sure some will find it another opportunity to get upset over "social justice," liberals changing things, or whatnot, but really... anyone who has zero connection to it and would have probably never visited can get over themselves.

WTF is a Squaw? A slur for what? Whore I'm guessing?
It's getting to the point I actually need this **** explained to me so I can see how it's 'problematic'. |
It has been a slur against Native women forever, not at all anything new, where have you been.

Well, since we're going all-in on the ridiculousness... Black House when?

Yes, doing that with names of things with colors in them that were never associated with human skin tones is ridiculous and a bit of a stretch, unlike this particular topic.

I remember hearing about that word back in the day as a kid, not in use locally, but probably just through similar sources that got the message across that the "black face" thing was likewise cringy and messed up. Side note... powwows open to the public are fun and make a fun family (or friend) day trip if you can catch one within driving distance. |

I confess I'm a bit perplexed at the recent kowtowing to Native American/American Indian feelings.
There's like seven of them left, must we enact sweeping changes every time one of them is offended? :trazz: Bad enough I can't watch "Major League" anymore without it feeling somehow "dirty". |
I mean, unless all of us pack up and invade some other country leaving the Natives to slowly repopulate, there's really no point.
It reminds us of the 'colonizer' slur, because literally ALL of us (in America) are. I know they're trying to make this into a white slur but I sure don't see all of the POC packing up to return to their country of origin either. |
I think Bioshock Infinite was the first time I heard of this word. Skip to 5:42.
