I agree, and I somewhat understand the pervasiveness of the term, and terms like it, given that we're talking about terms that really only impacts about 1% of the US population (ya know, because gen*cide). I believe that usage of the term(s) was initially designed (like many of the laws in the US today even) to erase or replace/assimilate the American Indian. Hopefully as we use our voices and let people know why society should no longer be accepting of using these terms things will change for the better.
