Natives of the new world can be called American Indians.

People who live in the U.S. but are from another part of the world are often given hyphenated designations, like Chinese-American or African-American.

So if a native of the new world from somewhere outside of the U.S. came to live in the U.S., could they properly be called a American Indian-American?

And supposing they married an Indian-American. Would the couple's children be American Indian-Indian-Americans?

Or perhaps American-Indian-Indian-American-Americans?

THAT'S RACIST

'American Indians' makes no sense. The term 'Native American' makes much more sense.



That, or 'Injuns.' Because there's no way you will confuse someone saying 'Injun' with someone from India.






I was born here. I'm as 'Native American' as anyone else.

So Injun-Indian-Americans for the kids?

It's considered politically incorrect to say Asian-American or African-American or anything similar these days.

I've given up on caring anymore. When I learn the right thing it's wrong again.
