Quote:"Yankee" is an English word that predates the civil war:

Possibly Dutch in origin

"Patriot" is not unique to citizens of the United States. I'm not surprised you didn't immediately recognize this, and it's not your fault.

The term "cowboy" predates the American Revolution. The fact that African Americans were over-represented in the career in the late 19th century is coincidental.

So is the term Redskin exclusive to American Indians? I'm no linguist so it's an honest question. Obviously I'm not advocating changing the names of the Yankees, Patriots or Cowboys.

As to the point about Patriots it's obviously a referral to the American Patriots the mascot downright to the logo are from the revolutionary war.
