Kemosabe
Even Canada's nutty Supreme Court found the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission's lawsuit over the word "kemosabe" too ridiculous to hear, and that's saying something.
The question here isn't "is kemosabe offensive?" or "was this woman's feelings hurt?" or "should the law on the Lone Ranger be clarified?"
It's: Why do we have these human rights commissions at all? They're like the Toronto Star editorial board, but with the force of the law behind them. Terrifying.

It's all part of the big picture. Human Wrongs Commissions have existed for decades, but they enjoy an immunity from political debate due to the Charter of Bights and Fifedoms, circa 1982.
