I never heard of any of those being used as racial slurs. It's not a slur to call a non-indian "Pocahontas." He's making fun of her, not real natives.

Dude, you're living in a parallel universe. Native Americans don't need you or Elizabeth Warren to look after them.
Their heritage is no more remarkable than mine being of Scottish descent.

What a way to honor Native American Veterans! Use the occasion to insult one of their descendants! Genius!
