Also, you guys don't get to decide what words are offensive to a certain group. If native Americans think redskins is racist, then it is.

That's two different concepts. Something is racist if it discriminates on the basis of race. On its own it's not inherently a good thing or a bad thing. It is also objective if the discrimination (or lack thereof) can be established one way or the other. On the other hand, offensive has a definitive negative connotation and is subjective.
