It's not a slur. It's an indian name. For example, calling someone "Chief Running Bull" isn't a slur.

Unless the person’s name is Pocahontas or Chief Running Bull, it quite literally is.

Pocahantas was not her real name. The community called her that for her own safety.

Calling a Native American Chief Running Bull [when that isn't their name] is being extremely racially insensitive--if not using a racial slur. For him to use that slur in this situation is abhorrent.

Also, it's disingenuous to pretend he doesn't use that moniker as an insult.

Everything is "insensitive" to you people. That's why noone listens to your whining anymore. Get used to it.
