I don't care about political correctness or anything, but calling Native Americans Indians is just really wrong. I mean, even though real Indians shouldn't really have that name since that's a name of the Sindhi language that the British tried to enforce (Hindustani, etc., might be better names). You ought to call Native Americans that or perhaps even Red Indians, but I think the latter might be more or less derogatory since it refers to skin color. Still, they seem to be native to the area of America. Why continue to follow the mistakes of Western explorers like Christopher Columbus by using this thoroughly inappropriate misnomer? It doesn't make sense for legitimate people to do that. (By the way, for all my fans, I decided to minimize my "The hero strikes again!" end comments on all my posts)
