The Indian-or-not question is a very interesting one. IIRC, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 authorizes the tabulation of racial data. One of the catagories was, "American Indian." Many liberal, progressive, activistic leftie organizations unilaterally applied political correctness and changed this label to, "Native American." No federal legislative action has legitimatized this corruption. So, while I am not an "American Indian," I am a "native American" (unlike Arnold, for example) and proud of having been born in this great nation. Lefties are so clever in manipulating the language, it is surprising that they still get excited when they get a submission from a "native American!"
Did you mean that the other way around? I know other conservatives who prefer "American Indian" to "Native American".
