What about people from India? Are they supposed to call themselves something else now? Your explanation that "The correct way to refer to Native Americans will probably continue to be debated well into the foreseeable future..." is insensitive. We are a billion people and are the only rightful owners of the ethnic identity label Indians. The others can be proud of their own identities "Cherokee, Navajo, Hopi, Comanche, Apache..." or whatever else they are. Anonjo

Those stating the Europeans decimated the American Indians to near extinction fail to take into consideration the resulting cause and effect from the natural progression of a modernized society. Or do you believe the American Indians would have stood still in time as the rest of the world evolved, and they'd still be living in teepees and shopping for dinner with a bow-and-arrow? anon247327

European killed 95 percent of them. Whatever they want just give to them, simple? anon246927

Just because something's a mistake, or an insulting word doesn't mean it cannot be reclaimed.
