Because it may get confused for the word squaw?
That word is actually an insult, cuz. It basically means ‘a tramp’ or ‘a whore’ to call a Native American woman that to her face, is inviting a punch!

I can say I wasn’t aware it’s treated akin to the n-word, I’m certainly not trying to insult anyone. Although it’s not an every day word, squab is still used around my neck of the world, hence the reason I asked.

This is much like using the word ‘mamacita’ to Hispanic ladies. I had no idea what it meant, but was told by a lady from Peru, that they take it like someone you have sex with. I thought it was a term of endearment but Noooooooo.

Yeah but generally not like I’m a prostitute way. It’s just very sexual. You don’t call another man’s woman mamacita! You wouldn’t want another man walking up a calling your significant other hot mama.

Funny, I’ve heard the word squab on looney tunes cartoons back when I was a little kid watching Bug’s Bunny and Daffy Duck. They weren’t so politically correct back in the 60s

Here’s the result of a quick Google
The English word squaw is an ethnic and sexual slur, historically used for Indigenous North American women. Contemporary use of the term, especially by non-Natives, is considered derogatory, misogynist, and racist.

Yes but Squab is still a young pigeon… or a fat person. I think the last letter is where the confusion is coming in.
