Is 'Pocahontas' a racial slur? Searching Nexis, having hard time finding examples pre-Warren/Trump.

it's clearly a slur. having said that, i think it *is* legitimate to question if it's a slur when used against Warren -- since she's not Native American. either way, it's puerile and degrading to the public discourse. Trump is being grotesque, as usual.

Hypothetical: if you had white politician who made dubious claim of being black & you called her Rosa Parks or Harriet Tubman, that would be a slur. Period.
