Sitting "indian style" is offensive?

[EW]

Crisscross applesauce is the pc term per my kids daycare mgr

You should pull your kid out of the liberal hell hole.

And another reason I refuse to put my kid in daycare.

Wow

...

Why not just say, "sit cross-legged?" Why all the stupid little rhymes?

To me cross legged meant to put one leg over the other when you are sitting in a chair. Which looks Ghey, BTW.

As for being PC, fuck that. I'm sick of all the uber-sensitive pussies trying to impose their feelings on everyone else. Those are the same type of people that want us to accept the fact that they are gay, transgender, etc.

That's what it was, I didn't put much though into after she went of bout not being PC, I just remember it being a rhyme.

Please fall off into the ocean..would be my response

Yeah, but I'd currently have to go with them.

Just start calling it Red Skin style and see if she like that better.

My step-father was born and raised in Georgia, I firt thought about mentioning his beloved Braves, but it would have been lost on the obvious non- sports fan.

Because it's indian style!

I don't see how it is demeaning at all and it is indeed how Indians sit. It being demeaning would be the only reason I can think of to be PC. I don't see the problem.

It's not demeaning, some people just like to bitch.

It's derogatory offensive slanderous and misrepresenting to any and all Cherokee comma Che apache descendants whose forefathers held ownership of his great land of milk and honey before the white man came and raped it from them causing them to fail in life for generations to come

Perhaps it's misrepresentative, but not at all derogatory or slanderous. Immitation is the scincereist form of flattery.

I'm 25% Blackfoot and it doesn't offend me, so tell her to shut the fuck up.

On the other hand, the 75% of me that is Irish gets bent out of shape real quick when someone mentions St. Patrick's Day.

Stevo

I'm not offended by either, but it's no different than the millions that get trashed for Cinco De Mayo. It's just another reason to party.

Land O Lakes Butter says, you guys don't know what Indian Style is....

She's only sitting that way because of the smell it would cause otherwise. Poke-her-hiney got her name because guys would only stick it in her ass, and back then they used butter for lube.

Back around 1981, I was having a conversation with this black girl at work and she was talking about rigging something up at home. My first thought was, "What does rigging mean?". Then it occurred to me, "Oh!! She mean's ni66er-rigging". Her terminology seemed strange to me. That was always a term I had used growing up and never thought of it as a deragatory term.

Fuck all y'all calling me white, the term is caucasian bitches

Fuck that. From now on, ya'll refer to me as "not-black, not indian, not messican, not asian, by the grace of God".

LOL. That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw this thread.

do you have to be drunk and work at a casino to sit indian style or no

[Whiteboy]

That dude was even a indian

[Broncojohnny]

This would be real confusing for my son's daycare because the place is run by a couple of Pakistani ladies and most of the teachers are the same. Or Indian. They probably wouldn't know what the hell was going on if he said that.

he was indian?

[JP135]

...just for the loolooloo indians.

Dammit that's funny.

I suggested that someone sit indian style on the floor tonight, rather than bother getting a chair, and was told by a friend of a friend that the phrase "indian style" in no longer PC.

Are any of you offended at all by this phrase, or is this more mindless liberal bullshit?

FWIW, the correcting party is a gradeschool teacher in San Diego, and she told me that she has her kids say something like "ankles under knees, on your bottom please" instead.

Call him a faggot and get on with your life.
