I always have mixed feelings when this kind of thing happens. I certainly never considered the word "squaw" offensive, not when I use it anyway. But I did look it up in Wikipedia and apparently lots of people do consider it offensive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squaw . Guess I will try not to use it anymore. Squaw Valley is no longer...
Apparently it is derived from the Algonquian language, and was not originally offensive. Not sure when or why that changed.
