I once wanted to be politically correct so I referred to an Indian as a "Native American." He gave me a strange look and said that term was only used by dopey white liberals. He then told me that Indians refer to each other as.....Indians.

Bingo! Touche! Home Run! Lightly scratch the surface of just about any PC sack-o-scat issue and you'll see these maggots milling about happily in the muck. Their self-proclaimed "sensitivity", "compassion", and (puke) "collective white guilt" has immeasurably contributed to the coarsening, division, and overall degradation of this society - they couldn't have been more effective if they'd declared a virtual moratorium on common sense.

I had a similar experience. I sat at a bar in Chicago a few years back with a Sioux and an African American. When I used the term "Native American," the Sioux gentleman told me the same thing and that "Indian" remained the term of choice on the rez. The black women added to our discussion by saying that blacks NEVER use African American unless speaking with white people.

Of course they do. And anyone else is welcome...to call them ...Indians. Anybody else that think that is wrong is fishing for issues to flaunt around.
