[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two Indian kids (Mohawk tribe) thrown out of a college tour because a mother was "nervous" about them being too quiet and just looking wrong.

When are white middle class Americans going to realize that their "gut" is racist, bigoted, and just plain wrong?

Get with the program, because we don’t like to be called “Indian”.  We are not from Asia.

And what is horrible is that the younger brother goes to an Indian boarding school.  I cannot believe there are still some in existence.  Google them if you aren’t familiar with them.[/quote]

My apologies, but last time I referred to someone as "Native American" (in my workplace) I was told with the same amount of disdain you are currently displaying that the proper term of address was "Indian from the --- tribe.

I guess I will just continue to offend.[/quote]

This is my understanding as well- the museum is calledMuseum of the American Indian.[/quote]

NP. We've had this discussion before. As someone of Indian/Southasian decent, I completely don't understand using the term "Indian" to refer to tribes in the US. It was an ignorant misnomer - why continue to use it?

I have heard the criticism around 'Native American' but it still seems like a MUCH better term than calling tribes "Indian" - which refer to South Asians and the Indian Subcontinent.

That said, the woman is a moron. I hope someone outs her hateful idiocy. [/quote]

Mexicans with mayan, aztec, or apache in them have no issue being called indian or indio. This PC about it is ridiculous[/quote]
