Wow. they deleted your word. I can't think of what it might be, either. You know, i really wish they wouldn't do this.
The other day somebody asked the question:
(and it will get partly deleted here, too)
Q: Why don't they come up with a brand new, **** 'n' span version of the Bible since this one is so corrupted?
They actually deleted out "s_p_i_c even though it was just part of a word meaning the cleaner - it was so stupid.
See if you can rewrite the question, and put an underline between each letter - that might work so we can see what the term is. Good luck!

If the starred word is referring to the 'N' word, then you should try renting a documentary called "The 'N' Word". It will give you a thorough description of the history and the reason there is so much conflict around the word today and even the multiple meanings.

Do you mean Indian? If so it's because they were looking for a passage to India and found the indiginiouos people of America.
My native friend always says thank god they weren't looking for Turkey.

Your term got starred out...did you ask
red - skin? that would be their ruddy complexion
in jun that would be a corruption of Indian
Indian? that would be the country that Columbus THOUGHT that he found.
I don't recall any other terms that were in common use about our Native American brothers and sisters.
