Native American Silliness

Seems like some in the Native American community want to permanently appropriate the word "chief" not being bright enough to realize it was never their title to being with.

In my last job before I retired, my boss was a "chief" and I was listed as the "senior". I wonder if I could go back and sue because they used an age discriminatory term in my title? Kidding. (However, it could probably be the next "offensive, bad-bad" word they'll go after) I'm thinking the old rhyme we all grew up with should be re-written. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but some PC is BS.

What about appropriating 'Czars' as in Drug Czar, etc.?
