The LW's sentiments are ones that I can get behind, but he's being naive. There are too many individuals and groups with too much invested in making sure that true unity among our people never exists, or that the US never becomes truly colorblind. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be begging on the street were it not for their ability to shake down corporations by accusing them of "racism."

Another reason not to call Sioux or Cherokee or Umatilla people "Indians" is because they because they weren't raised speaking Hindi, Tamil or Urdu, wearing sari, lungi or punjabi, and I would guess that very few were raised Hindu, Muslim or Buddhist. Though fry bread and nan do have a lot in common...
