Although I get what you’re saying, I never use it. It’s divisive, and intentionally so. Same with “Native” American... “Hispanic” American, etc., etc.

I’m a “no-hyphen” American.

The country has been intentionally split along color/racial lines, and using the language of the leftards just continues.

Not criticizing you, just pointing something out.

As long as you don't use the word colored

I don't disagree, but I don't think this needs more discussion...

In terms of the debate on the Washington Redskins, suppose Atlanta had a term, and it was initially called The Atlanta Slaves. Then, since slavery was over, they used the term, Blackskins.

The problem with Indian is that this reflects the mistake of Columbus - he did not discover a route to the Indies and India, but a route to a New World. Maybe it could have and should have been called North and South Columbia after Columbus.

Bobby Jindal is of Indian ancestry - his family came from India. There are other people in Louisiana that came from the Coctow tribe or other tribes.

Using the word Indian for both of these are confusing.
