Is the term "Indian" offensive?

Sexist!

I agree with the above poster. My friend is half of something I can’t remember (it’s spelled strange) and takes his heritage seriously but calls himself Indian. He would only get into specifics or use of Native American on official dox.

Maybe it’s a southern thing, but I don’t really see people caring a lot about these kinds of titles anyway. Very few people care about being politically correct down here, even our politicians are guilty of the carefree cultural apathy.

I would think so, it’s definitely not an acceptable term today, and hasn’t been for decades.

No offense, but I was so offended by that list of offensive words that I decided to play offense and start a thread about it.
