It's one of the multiple accepted terms for them,I have personally known a family who preferred the term offer others
Isn't that basically "I can't be racist, I have black friends"? What if I told you that I'd been told by Native Americans that they DON'T like being called "Indian"? And if they are Indian, what do you call people from India, exactly? You know, Indians?
It doesn't matter what you think, dude. It's a generally accepted term among the people it's referring to. It's usually better to use the name of their tribe, but that's not always possible
That's cool. I prefer to call people from India Indians if that's alright. If I'd like to refer to a Native American as something else I'll at least do them the courtesy of saying American Indians so they aren't referred to as a completely separate ethnic group.
