So you have a significant Indian population too. Well, we do need to respect what people want to call themselves, but at least "American Indians" would minimise the confusion. :)
No, actual Indians or "Hindu".. There are a lot of Natives that live about an hour away from me in Cherokee, but I live in what USED to be the Cherokee Nations Capital, My house is a block away from what was called the "Trail of Tears" My subdivision is located on what was called the "Roundup Area" where all the Cherokee were taken from their homes and cities and marched to North Carolina and then to Oklahoma I believe. more than half of them lost their lives. The Cherokee were a very Civilized tribe. They had their own printing press, courts, schools, and churches. But Rich, White people decided they needed their land (not any of my ancestors I can guarantee that) the part of my famly that were'nt brought over here as Irish slaves, were Cherokee.
This is why at times, I laugh at ignorant black people who say that WHITE people are all Slave driving devils.
I know we need to remember our past or we are doomed to repeat.. BUT we do not need to keep living in the past.
