We both agree that the term is seen as offensive now, but wasn’t in the past.
My point was that even someone as enlightened as Vonnegut had a blind spot. That goes to the idea of ‘conservative engineers’ who are probably just repeating things they were taught without thinking about it.
If you were taught about the “massacre” at Little Big Horn all your life, it’s hard to consider it from the other side.
I’m not sure if you’re praising or condemning me.

I’m agreeing with you and just kind of generally rambling about the people who would be mad at Vonnegut in your post.
