The best part of this is how upset Cal gets about it. You know he’s looking at the screen fuming, face getting all red and anxious…
Now let’s bring up ship abbreviations again! :evil: :roll:
Well, I was obviously wrong.However, I don’t fume when people make grammar mistakes. And I also don’t turn red in the face(impossible for me,since I am Indian).
Wrong kind. I’m a real Indian(from India), not a Native American(or “First Peoples” as Canadians apparently call them).
I have taken sensitivity training on this issue, as Ive lived amongst your people.
SANCTIONED by the government, my training says the correct classification for yourself is “south asian”. I received this training whilst working for the Red Cross, a large international organization.
No one uses the term Indian anymore, because the government instructed us that it is racist and inconsiderate. And especially if you were not born in India - it is inappropriate to call yourself an Indian.
No one? Not in my experience.
If you’re being sarcastic, I am missing the point.
Were you born in India? Or in America?
I was born in the United States
Then you are American.
Give up any delusions of being Indian - you are not. Unless your parents were from there, and you make a point of getting dual citizenship, you are unfortunately SOL.
