Have you noticed that their website describes their team as composed of "Native Americans and non-Indians"? Shouldn't that be non-Native Americans? Unless they're talking about people who are not from India.

Hell, for that matter, I'm a native Murrican and you prob'ly are too.

I just ain't no aboriginal Murrican.

Now, I do know some African-Murricans. They're whiter than I am, and speak with a sorta British accent, but they was born in Africa, by golly.

I'm a "Native American," I was born here myself although I'm of German, Swedish, Serbian, Russian, and Russian Jew lineage. As Andrew Dice Clay said so ling ago, "I'm a Native American although I don't live in a tee-pee and drive a horse to work." B-)

Seriously, I think people who worry about things like this need to get a life and a job and quit whining. I'm just getting tired of the "woe is me and my people because we were stepped on by whomever attitude" that is in the U.S. and the world today. As I see it more and more all it is is just a ploy to line up and get welfare in the form of money or other compensation instead of working for it. Some of these people would make "Dr. Smith" from the old "Lost in Space" TV show look like a model worker.

Yes, injustices do happen but to dwell on it and develop a "world owes me everything" mentality isn't the answer and is counterproductive in the long run.

Actually it should read: "American Aborgines and non-Europeans". Though I admit, it's not quite as catchy. But seriously, a "native American" is anyone born within the national boundries of the United States-- no matter what their color, physcial back round, or whatever. A full blooded Sioux whose mother gave birth to him while visiting friends in Canada is NOT a "native American".
