I agree. For example, the word "tribe" is rooted well before the colonization of the America's. It's etymology originates from Middle English. It's used to describe a fundamental social grouping that is common to all of humanity: A community of people who share a common ancestry and heritage and typically have a recognized leader. Why should this word now become taboo for non-Native Americans? I realize it's use has expanded to be used casually to just describe a group of people with a common interest or cause. The idea was that the bonds that tie these people together was communal or familial. Was this really meant as a insult to Native Americans? Are Native Americans justified in their offense and subsequently suppressing its usage? Is this really helping marginalized people? Are we really standing in the way of the evolution of our language?
