Pocahontas Is Racially Charged???

The Hill was trashing back at President Trump yesterday.   The President is famous for calling Senator Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas" in response to Warren's claims of Indian ancestry.  The Hill called the nickname "racially charged".
   Really?  Back when my kids were doing elementary school, Pocahontas lunch boxes were all the rage.  Pocahontas beat out My Little Pony for most popular kids lunchbox.  Back when I was doing elementary school myself (long before the Disney movie) we knew of Pocahontas as a beautiful, romantic Indian princess, who had a thing going with John Smith, later married John Rolf, went to England were she was treated as if she was British nobility.  Pocahontas was cool, everybody knew that. 
   Dunno where The Hill comes up with "racially charged".
