When a Red Indian is not a Red Indian and other un-PC terminology.
What are the acceptable terms for referring to 'Red Indians' when I mean native Americans from the 1800's who wore feathers in their hair? Why, if I can say 'black' and 'white' without offending anyone, can I not say Red Indian?

"Having an ego", "self-centredness", "self-importance", and other wonderful gifts...
The development of the word 'ego' over time. Are words like 'egocentric' and 'self-centred' used by society to cut us off from our true selves? Is viewing things subjectively instead of in society's terms 'a deadly sin'?
