The town of Duluth Minnesota decided to remove the term “Chief” from town titles. They will rename titles such as “Chief Administrative Officer” so that it won’t be offensive to Native Americans. The police and fire chiefs are also apparently open to taking on new titles. Mayor Emily Larson explained that the word chief “is language that is offensive to people who are indigenous and actually offensive to a lot of people, especially when there is other language available.” Chief is actually an Old French word meaning principal, first, leader, or most important. It is also related to chef, so that should also probably be deleted from the lexicon. https://iman.infusion-links.com/api/v1/click/5478276115726336/6532213403287552
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Idiocy is loose in the land and knows no bounds.
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.

"

So it is a great compliment to call someone "chief."
Liberalism is a mental disorder.

To be fair, there isn't a group of more retarded white people in 86,943 square miles than Minnesota

Do they think chiefs used the word chief before whites taught the word chief to them?

I own a S&W Chiefs Special revolver. I certainly want to be politically correct and not offend any Indians. What can I rename it?? Help me out here.  L.W.

More virtue signaling based on stunning ignorance.
Broncos are officially the worst team in the nation this year.

How stupid. That's an English word, not an American Indian word. We called their top tribal authority "chief." They didn't.

"Chief" being offensive must be an Objibwe thing as the Souix that run Mystic Lake Casino call the fire department head "Fire Marshal" and reserve the word "Chief" for the band leaders. Or, more likely, the Duluth council is using its "white privilege" to assign verbiage to Indiginous People for their own good. Typical Leftist actions...

I think they may be onto something.
This could quell all the racial tension in America!
if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?
