Sitting "indian style" is offensive?

[Z06killinsbf]

It is now referred to as presidential solution.

I suggested that someone sit indian style on the floor tonight, rather than bother getting a chair, and was told by a friend of a friend that the phrase "indian style" in no longer PC.

Are any of you offended at all by this phrase, or is this more mindless liberal bullshit?

FWIW, the correcting party is a gradeschool teacher in San Diego, and she told me that she has her kids say something like "ankles under knees, on your bottom please" instead.

I have been hearing it referred to as criss-cross applesauce for over a decade. Insensitive prick!

Southern California School Teacher ? That says it all. Wanna guess who she voted for ?

You guys keep making it a California thing but my son started kindergarten here in Texas 10 years ago and it was used here then.

we were having "equal opportunity" training yesterday and our Career Counselor said she likes to use "flip charts" and said that during a class she was teaching. she was promptly informed she cannot use that term (even though she was referring to the pad of paper on the easel) because that term is derogitory to filipinos.

ive had it up to here with this PC nonsense.

lol...so I guess backflip is a racist term for an illegal Mexican and Filipino mix?

Haha, I told my nephew to do that, and my sis says thats not what they call it anymore. I forgot what she called it though.

We use "criss cross apple sauce" I told my other colleagues that shit sounds right out gay.

I continue to use "Indian style" and not give a fuck, whilst making an intended "palm to the face" face to tell them to stfu.

[ceyko]

WTF does criss-cross applesauce even mean?

[cdite]

I always thought that sitting "indian style" meant chugging a bottle of whiskey and then passing out on the floor?

[94form2000z]

Why not just say, "sit cross-legged?" Why all the stupid little rhymes?

This.. but I don't understand why anyone should be offended by it. . Hell they should embrace heritage
