Thing is, when I hear Indians, I think people from India. I really don't care either way but it's less confusing.
One Piece blog Beyond the LampshadeThat's certainly interesting.
I find myself agreeing with Arha.
I suppose they didn't have a name for them collectively, huh?
Well, from their perspective, it's probably like how a Korean person would wish to be called a Korean instead of an asian or oriental or whatever. The group name is not incorrect, but being a little more specific would be appreciated.
I find that reasonable enough, though I doubt I could identify any given tribesman on sight. And I've only ever known one Cherokee man, any way.

I generally say "American Native" or "American Indian", though it's never actually come up.
Incidentally, according to Model UN, and thus UN, you shouldn't use the term "nation" do describe a country, as it specifically refers to peopless recognized by the UN, and since not all are, it can be a sore spot for some that you shouldn't press if you can avoid it.
The sad, REAL American dichotomyTibet and Kosovo off the top of my head, I know there are others. Palestine/Israel/that mess, too.
One Piece blog Beyond the LampshadeI don't really pay attention to the UN anymore.
Pretty much exactly those already mentioned, for starters.
The sad, REAL American dichotomyWait people still listen to the UN?
Rarely active, try DA/Tumblr Avatar by pippanaffie.deviantart.comso the UN is like the Bible?
I agree that nationalism is the prevalent demarcation of shinobi as seen through the rock and sand feud and the leaf and cloud disputes.
I dislike that there is a black history month as it implies "there's no racism in America look we have months/weeks/days devoted to X minority group." However! I think that trying to remove or ignore it now is worse considering America's "never forget 9/11 and/or never forget the Holocaust" while simultaneously making legislature to change "slavery" to "servitude."
Also, I love meat. Dig most fruit. Enjoy almost all cheese. Like few veggies. I just love food. I don't consider tofu food.

That was the cheesiest crap of a chapter eveeeeerrr. I bet tobi will be saucekaaayyy from another dimension or something
3DS Friend Code: 0302-0823-4983 Black 2 Friend Code: 4084-3672-3624I have nothing to contribute to this conversation except... I find racist jokes hilarious.
"If you weren't so crazy I'd think you were insane."Tofu doesn't have a goddamn taste. It's not food.
Probably, people seem to be too busy being nationalist to be all that racist.
If something someone does offends me, personally, I'll raise a stink. If something I do offends someone else, I won't do it again. Those are my only real limits.
