[Harriet R]

I don’t believe its ever OK to use a slur, ethnic or otherwise. However I’m not sure that ‘Redskin’ is meant as a slur. Most Blacks or Whites are used to being designated by those terms although their skins are neither black colored nor white colored. Perhaps it might help if you or other native Americans could tell us why you consider it a slur.

Jews who try to observe all the laws of the Torah, the ‘five books of Moses’, do not eat meat and milk at the same meal because of the injuction ‘Thou shalt not seeth (cook)a kid in its mother’s milk’. Since no one now living was around when that injunction was originally given, traditional rabbis have interpreted it to mean ‘don’t eat dairy food and meat at the same meal’. The reason for the rule is obscure but many think that the ‘seething’ was a pagan fertility rite which the ancient Israelites didn’t want as part of their religion.
