So “Indians” is now a racist term? Who decided that? Most Indians call themselves Indians.

“So “Indians” is now a racist term? Who decided that? Most Indians call themselves Indians.”

Kids in school (both public and private) have been taught to say “Native American” for at least 20 years — probably more — and discouraged from using Indian. I had to “re-learn” mine.

In practice, everyone around here says “Indian casinos”.
