I wouldnt go up to an Indian and call him a Native American to his face. As plenty (certainly not all) have said that is a derogatory term to Indians. Russell Means flat out said it was racist, and also said if anyone called him Native American to his face, they would have a fight on their hands.

I understand there isnt money to be made off of fighting the term Native American so no one cares about the Indians opinion of it. But would the ones who clearly dont care about what Indians think quit telling me im racist to Indians while using a term that some Indians (again, not all) do, in fact, call racist.
