A Tahoe Ski Resort Ditches Its Name, Saying It's Racist And Sexist

The Squaw Valley ski resort is changing its name to Palisades Tahoe, saying that the word "squaw" is derogatory and misogynistic.

Squaw Valley hosted an Olympics, but it now has a new name. "It's a term that was inflicted upon us by somebody else and we don't agree with it," an official of the Washoe Tribe says.
