[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it odd that the Indian identity has largely been disregarded by the Hispanic culture. Most Mexicans are mainly Indian, but we don't call them Indian, nor do they really see themselves as Indians, but DNA testing shows that the majority of Mexicans have large percentages of Indian DNA. [/quote] As a person of Indian (India/South Asian) descent, this is so confusing to me.[/quote] Because the right word is INDIGENOUS, not Indians. Christopher Columbus got confused when he ariver to America, he thought they have arrived to India.[/quote] Yep. Indian is never the right word to use. Indigenous is more apropos.[/quote]
