    Racism? The gag is that she's *not* Native American. It's like sarcastically calling a clueless person "Sherlock."https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/775316236594978816 …

    Trump's "Pocahontas" slur is the most tolerated racism of his campaign. TV interviewers just let it go without objection.

        Matt, what if she'd claimed Jewish heritage and Trump called her Shlomo Goldbergwitz?

        False analogy. *Maybe* if she had pretended to be Jewish & he called her "Golda Meir" it might be similar. Still apples & oranges...

        this hyper-sensitive political correctness actually undermines legit concerns about Trump's real dog whistle comments.

        You're not going to get me to defend Trump, which is to defend the indefensible. But the Pocahontas thing is overwrought.

        not even close. How disrespectful to those actually legitimately offended by the n word. You dilute it.
