In reply to Dr. Bob - offensive name?, posted by rainsquaw on July 25, 2005, at 8:14:34

> Is "sq*aw" an offensive word here on P-Babble?

Thanks for following up on this. This site defers to Merriam-Webster Online:

http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?sq*aw

> I am half-American Indian and proud of my heritage, and I take the word sq*aw in a positive light... Must I pick a name without that word?

I'm glad you're proud of your heritage, and there's something to be said for "reclaiming" words like this, but yes, could you pick a name without that word? Thanks,

Bob
