That law is racist.

If you stick to Indian upon first meet and see what kind of people they are , you can branch out to other words.
Once upon a time when I was in army training at Fort Knox, we had to do land navigation in the woods. This one white guy says hey let’s follow (my last name), he’s good in the woods. Which was funny because I grew up in a desert area on the reservation. But we did alright and passed the course.
Ok, very sound advice. Thank you.
Gotcha. Thx.
