I did the etymology on Redskins once. It was originally used as an adjective. White skin, black skin, red skin. It’s unfortunate it had to turn into scalping references. I don’t understand why Indians and Braves are only thought of negatively though. I have no idea about the history of those teams and their use of the name previously. I never thought poorly of American Indians because of Cleveland or Atlanta though. If anything it made me more curious about Native Americans. I think we’re going to lose that as an unintended consequence if this moral cleansing.
