“African-American” is like “Native-American,” a term of political currency. Almost all indians call themselves indians/ the name of their particular nation.

Indeed. Our Indian friends agree. We live near several reservations. I don’t see any “Native-American” bumper stickers, or have ever heard an Indian say such things.
As a matter of fact I witnessed an argument at a store several months ago involving a Polish woman and an Indian. The Polish gal was talking about how soft Americans are, and in her country they had to use newspaper for toilet paper, and on..... When they Indian man started telling her to take her posterior back to her old country and leave America, the woman started that old, “This isn’t your country any. Its the Native-Americans....” line. The man responded by saying, “I am Indian. Take your (((bleep))) our of our country. I’m proud to be an American (or something like that)”.
It’s the classic white liberal rant. They take it upon themselves to condescend to us (minorities), and become our “savior” and “provider” because we’re too stupid to think for ourselves /s.
