I used the term on a team call today (everyone else is West Coast) and you could hear a pin drop.

My first thought would be no.
But I'm even sure anymore.

We live in a country that says "pregnant woman" is an offensive term.

Depends on how you used it:

I've had more fun at an Indian casino - not racist.

This is a bigger scam than an Indian casino - probably racist.

Indians (feathers not dots) call them Indian Casinos.

This is so stupid we have to worry about this.

Long live the North Dakota Fighting Sioux, Cleveland Indians, and Washington Redskins!

Q from Canadian passer by: No Indian casinos in Texas? Why not?
Because in Texas we managed to eradicate the American Indian completely.

The term ""Indian casino " is not racist. They are operated by Indians on Indian reservations. Just ask your bleeding hearts who do these casinos they belong to ? The white man ? What is really troubling /disrespectful about these casinos is that they keep building them on sacred Overlook Hotel burial grounds.

If someone on your team tries to make this a thing...do not apologize for using that term. Like another poster said, the tribes themselves call them Indian casinos. Tell them to google Indian casino and they will find links to actual casinos calling themselves Indian casinos right there on their websites.

It's not "feather" or "dot" any more. The more accurate term is "casino" or "hotel".

Should've just called them in-jun (pronounced "engine") casinos.

White folk can't say much

Black folk can say whatever whenever.

Brown folk can say whatever whenever en espaniol.

Yellow folk can't be understood and can't drive.

I work for an 'Indian' Casino. The preferred term is 'Tribal Casino', but most folks around here, even in the tribe, don't care if you call it an Indian casino, as long as you are gambling.
