@Rolando @ShareMySims I mean, I don't think it was understood as a slur at the time. It's not like anyone in the US knew the correct endonym "Khoekhoe" and was choosing to use a different term "Hottentot" instead in order to express contempt.

But characterizing bowing as an excessively servile action characteristic of a "primitive" people is in and of itself problematic.
