Thinking the term Redskins fits in the category on just for fun is hard for me. Unfortunately most jokes are at the expense of someone else. Comedy is made up using the actions of others missteps and shortcomings. When I was a boy there was a little girl we kids referred to as the RETARD. Even adults did not seem to find the reference offensive. Thankfully we have came a long way in the elimination of hurtful words, but sadly we still have a few left to deal with.
