| Topic | Why do racist people call both Indians and Native Americans Indians? |

I feel like you can't possibly be so oblivious as to not realize it used to a mainstay. Like, you make a lot of oblivious statements but even YOU have to know the history. I mean, jfc, man. lihlih posted... I asked this question to a few people and I've gotten various answers. There's no way you don't know the answer. You're just straight-up trolling. Even if you were only 15, you would know. There are a million movies out there that use it in the title to refer to Native Americans rather than actual Indians. Even Lok doesn't make topics this oblivious. Krazy_Kirby posted... calling a native American an Indian isn't racist. Well, it's no longer politically correct for obvious reasons. However, it's been a slow transition because it was used for hundreds of years and even as recent as the 1990s it was commonly used. That said, I'm sure some people are doing it to be racist rather than the fact they grew up with the word and don't see anything wrong with it as a result because it was accepted back then.
