The "linguistic debate" is among activists for how to deal with this unfortunate development.

They make vague ominous allusions to the history of the word without acknowledging it was created by NAs and then play dumb about how polling works. Everyone associated with that shitrag should be gassed

I'm a bit curious as to why the NY Times, not just in this article but usually when interviewing someone about race, bigotry, ethnicity, etc., chooses to quote someone similar to "Brian Mr. Howard, 28, a legislative associate for the National Congress of American Indians."

Or perhaps "“I grew up using ‘Oriental’ and being referred to as ‘Oriental,’” recalled Mr. Chay, who is a senior staff lawyer for a civil rights organization called Asian-Americans Advancing Justice."

The NYT will always go where they can get the best quote, one that will "stir the pot if you will".

Why is it never "Brian Howard, a truck mechanic in Globe, AZ." or "Mr. Chay a restaurant worker in Boston, MA."?

Oh, wait, the NYT doesn't cater to 90% of America, only the intelligentsia...

"But by the mid-1980s, Mr. Chay had become aware of a shift in the language — of the growing sentiment that “Oriental” was geocentric, ethnocentric, and disparaging to Asians. It was a rhetorical tool of separation and otherness, he said.

“We didn’t refer to people in the West as Occidental,” he said."

We did call them Westerners all the time though.

Yeah, fuck those goddamn racist Ptolemaic astronomers with their anti-Asian racial slurs!

"She questioned the methodology of the Post poll — which mirrored the results of a poll conducted in 2004 by the Annenberg Public Policy Center — saying that a survey of 504 people could hardly represent the feelings of 5.2 million Native Americans."

Shocker, another person who doesn't know how polls work.

"She also said that those who clung to family lore — of, say, being part Cherokee on their mother’s side — had experiences profoundly different from those who actually lived the Native American life, whether on or off a reservation."

Actually, the poll distinguished between those who were tribal members and those who were not, and it also distinguished between reservation inhabitants and those who were not. The results were similar for all of them.

These lib fags disputed the 2004 poll results (which more or less matched this poll) too. If they can find a poll saying >50 percent are pro gay marriage or amnesty it's settled science. For shit like this they are incredibly devoted and cynical statisticians who will never be satisfied.

This white man, quoted in the article, knows what is best for Native Americans and he knows that when they are wrong about what's best for themselves, it takes white men from Berkeley, like him, to take over.

"An interesting follow-up might be to spend a day or two at, say, the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, walking up to random members of the Oglala Lakota community and calling them “redskin” — and recording how well that goes over."

Translation: Indians can't be trusted to respond to a survey, but their violent natures will become apparent if you meet them in person.
