Edog, perhaps you should be more in tune with your culture. The indian, as we came to know them in the 1700's-1800's, were a proud, proud, individual, whose rights and way of life was overwhelmed by the American Bluecoats and the Americans who forced out their way of life. The indian tribes, depending  on their location in the US, were probably the best fighters, hunters, and it would offend them greatly, is they knew about this quibbling with what you should call him. Most indians wanted nothing to do with the americans, and would rather fight and die, than to be dishonored. After 200+ years of living in dishonor, disrespect, poverty beyond description, have now found their lives changed by the casinos. New homes, jobs, schools and economic security made possible been made possible by the casinos. I don't think that by telling people not to come to the very casinos that have changed your tribes because "you wouldn't miss us" is shortsighted. Of course you need our revenue..just don't look for bigotry when it isn't there. Ethnic (you brought up Native American) is not a bigoted remark.

Cook you are a couple hundred years to late. Columbus showed up in 1492. So your reference to we came to know the indian in the seventeen hundreds is off by a couple centuries.just thought I would let you know.

Maybe Ill refer to them as Asian casino's since "Native Americans" decended from Asia. Something tells me that it may also not suit you. I thought I had problems.

[edog743]

Asia really. The inuit in Alaska maybe. The natives that met columbus is laughable. By the way it is spelled descended.

with all due respect sir they are called NATIVE AMERICAN casinosSince they get so many extra benefits that Regular Americans don't, they better stick to Indians, lest the government forget that they are special.

Adam and Eve ?

[edog743]

What benefits?

[ruddy]

free booze.

[edog743]

Huh what are you talking about?

[jm002546]

What benefits?For instance, don't they have a monopoly on gambling in many places?  And, pretty much exempt from any standards to protect the patrons.  Yes, theydo need "his money."  Looks like they are unaccountable for their debts, as well.  Many thousands annually for each tribe member must be nice.  I wish I was one of them natives.
