HelpRe: Maverick
in reply to a message by Ismene
Because they had them all listed out on their OP and I just wanted to point how they all were being used, just because it isn't the correct term is still a term that is being used. And them being from Germany they won't have them same context as an American would, so if an American did it I be quick to correct them but those who not the Americans or a place with a native group, I feel more obliged to explain things more because they maybe not know what is and isn't the correct term.
I didn't put a lot of thought into my original comment but I thought just putting that it is being phased out would be enough to cover it with any more explaination but apparently not? It is a complicated issue so I can't do all the explaining with whole lot of research on the topic, just giving my point of view as well as others to give more context to everything!
I guess I have a tendency to over explain stuff! Haha!

Also I didn't full understand the full context of the OP, but I wrote what I thought was the best answer for the time! I thought they asked about what terms were being used, and not what is the most correct, and said how they term Indians was being phased out as back then it was a correct term and I was saying how is not anymore!
