Sandy, see my note with apology to Lynda.  I've made it pretty clear that I 
support Indian grievances, but I see your point.   Now, if your point was 
more about the Indian Princess part that was left over from a previous 
converstation, but I think you are talking about the other expression, of 
which I will no longer use. 

 If my intention is to insult a person I will always be clear and I will do 
so based on 'their personal' activities, not on any group identification.  
But, I do understand how even in humor, there are ceratin expressions better 
left to b/w television shows.  This is one of those, and I do not mind the 
reprimand; and if I slip again with another, don't hesitate to let me know.
