    I call Indians Indians.  Anyone born in USA is native American.

    Exactly. I think Indian folks would think it very cool to have a baseball team named after them.

    Technically the term ‘American’ is racist.   Guess we should change that too.

    "American" could refer to anybody from this hemisphere. (North, Central, or South America)
