Of course I know what it means; you just told us a week or two ago :-).

I didn't know that half-breed was offensive; But, it takes about two seconds
now that you mention it to understand why it would be -- it is something more
from tv thsn anywhere; and I don't know, if before, I have ever fad the
occasion to use the expression -- always a white guy, though (Stuart Whitman,
Tony Curtis ?), .

But, You know that if I offended you in any way, I am sorry. I'm always
learning, and sometimes I make a 'new' mistake. The Indian Princess part I
borrowed from you, but the other part, I will not use again........
