Is there a more accurate name for Native Americans than "Native Americans"?

[itsyoung!!]

I don't like First Nations. Sounds gay. I want something like "Quechuans." Very powerful and proper. Like what are some Native American words for land or Earth? I'm going to start calling them that myself since they're too fukking tribal and lazy to do it. They let Euros call them whatever the fukk they want, they shouldn't have a problem with me doing it.

So in conversation it will go something like this...

"<Insert proper Native American name here> or what most would call "native Americans" own a lot of casinos in the States"

what do you mean sounds gay

I dont mind being called native american I personally prefer that over indian.., but im also adopted and dodged growing up on a reservation through loop holes, even though ive visited numerous ones (not in years tho ) so I cant be any real voice on this subject

Theres a lot of hate in your post @Gallo

What do native Americans call themselves as a whole? I don't want to go by tribal names as that's too granular. But when I talk about Native Americans I rather use the term they call themselves, rather than what non-native Americans call them. It's not about being respectful to native Americans or anti-cac. It's about un-laziness and accuracy. Indians is also a word that isn't very accurate as it is, again, what European explorers called Indians in India and then started to call native Americans erroneously and out of sheer laziness.

I don't think they have a name for their group "as a whole". They have tribal names, the Native American tag and the Indian label. That is all. They have no other names.

All labels and terms are "made up' by default. That doesn't mean anything. The labels are appropriate because of what and whom they describe: Asian for Asia's native people, European for Europe's native people, etc. Native American is a fine term.

lol, OK.

So if a black person makes the video... IT's negro knowledge negro science?

If a conspiracy person makes it.... it's tin foil shyt?

If an established mainstream British network makes it with the backing of research archeologist that spent millions on excavations... it's still pseudoscience nonsense?


Who exactly could make it and have ur brainwashed mind accept it? I will locate that and posted it for u.
