I know this. But Europeans do not always know this. So that is why I appended the "as in native Americans," to distinguish from Indians from India. I really do know the difference. Honest. But you give the impression that all native Americans are "Indians," when in fact only a minority are aboriginal (the apparent intended meaning of "Indian"). A more logical usage: Indian = from India native American = born in America aboriginal American = of immemorial American ancestry -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |
