Big slip up. Did he really just say that.

DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- Colorado Gov. Bill Owens apologized for saying "the natives are getting restless" during a conference on tribal gambling.

Richard Milanovich of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians in Palm Springs, California, said he "couldn't imagine" any person of stature making that kind of remark.
What's so bad about saying that? I thought they like to be called "natives" and not "indians"...and people like this Richard guy should just shuddup.

I don't see how that's racist, he's calling them what they are.

I don't think it's racist I just think it's a really funny f-up. You know right when that comes out of your mouth that someone's going to get really pissed off.

it's not exactly racist...just plain stupid.
I would imagine General Custer saying something to that effect, not a governor attending such a conference...
