Very true. They say the pen is mightier than the sword...it is the word which is mightier bringing peace or war the pen a mere tool. Its funny...your story of native Americans is fascinating but here is a living one. African Americans will call each other " My n igger" without offence, even a lot of pride but let another race do that and see what happens. We are strange critters galvanised by words.
Yes, I’m aware of that ambiguity in language in people of other ethnicities. It is strange that one may call a friend an offensive name and the friend would not be upset, but let a person from another race use it the same way and the other would be offended. Every tribe has its own code language and we have to respect that, not try to use it when we’re not from that group. It sounds patronising, don’t you think?
