"Native American" is what I am. So is EVERY American Citizen born in this country. "Native" is another perfectly good word, such as "gender" and "liberal" and so many others, co-opted by the Marxist Left a given an new meaning.
Why the SOBs even consider Mexican, Arab and Islam to be "races" since to have an issue with a member of one of these groups is considered "racist."
The proper term, if anyone is ever interested in using it, would be "aboriginal American." But, I too prefer Erie, Apache, Cree etc. since that's more accurate. These groups and nations are as distinct from each other as are the English, French and Germans.
“aboriginal American.”
Exactly, scientifically precise. And guaranteed to start a row in a discussion, as I discovered (not to my surprise) in a college classroom.
