A 'redskin' is the scalped head of a Native American, sold, like a pelt, for cash: 50 pounds for adult male scalps; 25 for adult female scalps; 20 for scalps of boys and girls under age 12. These bloody scalps were known as “redskins” — the most offensive name one could ever call a Native American

I'll ask proof on everything and everyone. And I never stop at or trust Wikipedia, but it's my first stop for the "official" story after DuckDuckGo.

I stand behind the excellent character I've seen of /u/EndlessSunflowers, even if this post's wording was poor, the central claim seems baseless, and the goal and motivations seem nebulous. IMO this was a poor post with good intentions in a problematic time of more engineered division than ever, possibly resulting in this unexpected feedback blowup over the last 4 hours.
