Remember when Arizona suddenly found the word SQUAW offensive and renamed the Squaw Peak Highway (51) after a female soldier that died in Iraq (when she drove her Humvee into a stationary object -- really good name for a highway!)
Many of us here in AZ didn't find it offensive, or the word pickaninny.( Former Gov. Mecham used the word back in the 80s. He was a good Gov, but was impeached.) He rescinded Gov Babbit's MLK Holiday. We were the only state that voted for the King holiday. Mecham put it on a Sunday.
