[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is "Native American" offensive, especially when "Indian American" is just based on Columbus not knowing where he was? Genuine question. [/quote] Native American is also a name white liberals chose for us.[/quote] Indian is the name the white colonist chose.[/quote] Who is "the white colonist"? Was that Columbus? Was he the white colonist? Was he very white, if he was from Genoa? Kinda "off white"? Whitish? White-like? Pale-faced, perhaps? And how is [i]Native American[/i] ok? Calling them "natives"? Hmm? Americans? after a random Italian explorer (a -- random [i]shudder[/i] -- white explorer)? Just let's get a name and stick with it, so we don't have to repeat the whole "negro" to "colored people" to "black" to "people of color" game. Messes up a whole bunch of organization names and costs everyone a fortune. Just ask the Redskins. [/quote]
