Is the term redskin a racism?
The term "Redskin" was probably a negative racist term when it was used by the whites in the 1600s through the 1900s. It is not a term used today. But in the previous centuries white man and woman were afraid of the Native Americans and were amazed at how dark the skin of the Natives was. They claimed it looked like redskin (meaning very tan). Eventually many did refer to the Indians with vehemence as "Redskins". But the reference wore off over time. If you say "Redskins" today you are referring to a sports team not the color of the skin of the Indians.
