What do you think about this?
To: dangus
Makes no sense. ......considering "Kemosabe" was the the term Tonto used to describe the Lone Ranger, not the other way around.

>> "the term used by the 1950s TV character Tonto, the Lone Ranger's sidekick, to describe the masked cowboy" <<
In other words, if it is offensive to anyone, it should be offensive to MASKED COWBOYS!!!!!!!

Thanks for the link. It is just as I thought. It was "Tonto" the Indians reference to a White Man, the Lone Ranger.
The link shows that the word may reference "One who peeks" or "Scout".
So I chalk this up to political correctness and liberal courts gone awry.

Yes, let's show some consideration for those who only have sufficient bandwidth for one subject at a time.
Don't want them to feel inferior, do we?
