Wow. Here's one that started out kinda normally, then really got brutal. Ouch! I did like the criticism of typical Western plots though

No word mincer, Nettie. (Igorrote )

You know, that first paragraph. This just could be....one MYRTLE TURNER under an alias!

Upon googling, it seems to be an older spelling of Igorot, who, according to Encyclopedia Britannica, are "any of various ethnic groups in the mountains of northern Luzon, Philippines, all of whom keep, or have kept until recently, their traditional religion and way of life." Source

Not an insult that has aged well at all

Huh?? Now I'm really confused.

From Wikipedia:

In 1904, a group of Igorot people were brought to St. Louis, Missouri, United States for the St. Louis World's Fair. They constructed the Igorot Village in the Philippine Exposition section of the fair, which became one of the most popular exhibits. The poet T. S. Eliot, who was born and raised in St. Louis, visited and explored the Village. Inspired by their tribal dance and others, he wrote the short story, "The Man Who Was King" (1905).[26] In 1905, 50 tribespeople were on display at a Brooklyn, New York amusement park for the summer, ending in the custody of the unscrupulous Truman K. Hunt, a showman "on the run across America with the tribe in tow."[27]

My guess is that at the time "igorrote" became a synonym for troglodyte, or something similar (unfortunately).

I don't blame your confusion though
