Is calling a woman "Pocahontas" a racial slur or a gender slur or both?

By that definition then the Disney movie Pocahontas is offensive because because the Indian maiden submits to the white man.

@JohnRoberts As I recall, many descendants of the First Inhabitants did fine the Disney movie Pocahontas offensive because it not only sexualized Pocahontas, but factually it go so much of the story wrong.

@JamesHXstatic You are correct that Il Dono used the term as an intentional slur against EW and it is another sign of the racism inherent in his character.

@DWDavis Where is the info about him not paying contractors..I would like to read it. I have not seen it. I like looking on all the facts. If they did not get paid they can put a lien on it. We were in construction for 40 years and did that many times. my husband was a drywall contractor. We had 3 crews of framers, hangers, finishers, and sometimes painters. We also had many workers that put a lien on us. because of not being paid. or back charged for the bad work that they did. we always gave them the chance to fix what was wrong or not get paid for the bad work. It has been about 15 years since we worked but back in the day if a lien was placed work was stopped and the work was inspected by city inspectors, and decided who was right. 99 percent of the time we were right by withholding payment. The one thing that we were tough on was the work being done right..If a framer does something wrong it puts everything off. being in the building business even though it was a small one. i know first hand the mess sub-contractors can make especially if someone new is on the crew and they are not watched. Hangers can also make a lot of extra work for the finishers if they do not do it right, and if they did not want to go back and fix what they messed up then partial payment was withheld and given to the finishers because they had to do the extra work. ECT. If the job is late being done that is another reason to withhold partial payment. because then it backs up all the other trades that need to get in to do their jobs..Most builders give bonuses if you finish early... and as a contractor that bonus also trickles down to other workers. eminent domain laws are in effect it happens all the time. a friend that lived in their home for about 50 years lost their home because the city wanted to build a parking lot. We need to change the laws. I do not know if they are the same for business owners. But he did not take the house, that he offered a fair price for. As for trump university their is good and bad comments about it, we have to listen to both sides and at least wait to see what happens in court.

Warren's lies are fodder for another discussion. I wanted this discussion to remain focused on Trump's perceived insensitivity to our continents First Inhabitants, as it points to his true character, which his history shows is much stained. I am glad that your husband and the others are not offended by Trump using the name of one of the most famous and honored First Inhabitants as a pejorative and an insult.

@dlr297 I hope you are right about Trump's intentions and his love of country. I would be a little more reassured, perhaps, if I didn't know so much about what an unscrupulous business man he's been, how he's lied and cheated so many people out of so much money, from refusing to pay subcontractors (at last count he'd refused to pay around 18,000 subcontractors the money he owes them), to trying to steal homes from people, including an 80 year old widow, to build a limousine parking lot for his casino, to the fiasco of the scam that was Trump University. I agree everyone has character flaws, but as far as I can tell, Trump has a flawed character.

@Tampa_girl7 Il Dono said it as an insult and meant it as such, using it to demean Elizabeth Warren because of her claim years ago that she had Cherokee or Delaware ancestry.

When the first Englishmen came to Virginia they met a tribe of First Inhabitant Descendants. The daughter of the chief of the tribe was named Pocahontas. She befriended one of the members of the English party and eventually married another Englishman. She is famous for having saved the life of an Englishman named John Smith.

@ModernDayWriter Smith landed in Virginia with the goal of establishing a colony in 1607.

@DWDavis in mid 15? In year 1531 may be

Without politics there would be a lot fewer talk radio shows and out of work pundits,

You think Mr. Trump meant it as a term of endearment or a compliment when he called Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas" in reference to her once claiming to be a descendant of the First Inhabitants.

@JohnRoberts You did not disappoint me in the least. I knew when I posted this discussion that rather than sticking to the topic of whether or not Trump's use of the term was racist, you would turn your response into an emotional attack me. I am not a Trump hater. I am a Trump disdainer. He is not worthy of me working up enough energy to hate him. The man is a caricature. I pick fun at him and point out his foibles because I enjoy doing so. In all fairness, I will endeavor to spend equal time putting in the effort to do so regarding Hillary, whom I equally disdain, if that will ease your ire.
