I can't believe they call a native American "Indian". In what dark times does that team live??

Dark times... that's hilarious.  

Anyway, those Indians look pretty good. I'll keep this one on my radar.

MightyUnclean

Agreed, those are some good looking Indians.

How interesting, an MMO that takes place in India.

Once upon a time, some guy erroneously thought he was in India and thus called all the people he met in the area "Indians".

His name was Christopher Columbus.

To this day, people continue to parrot that mistake.

Just so you know, native American isn't a term well liked either.

Cleffy

I thought Indian was the preferred term since all the related government agencies have Indian in their name.

If the Cleveland Indians got away with using the name to represent their state in sports i think we can live with this too.

People are too sensitive.

Well, my post didn't have to do with sensitivity and political correctness so much as having to do with Einstein's statement about the two things that are infinite.

They prefer to be called indigenous here in Canada.  The federal government is in the process of removing the term "Indian" officially and using indigenous.

oh i didn't mean you, i was just saying there are many people out there that get easily offended by anything. I dare think many(if not most) of those people have no idea about Columbus's mistake.

Turns out the Columbus story is more of a legend than a fact.  There are multiple theories on where the name indian originated from.

One where disparaging marginalized group is acceptable. Since the moral compass has been broken for quite a while now people have just thrown it out. Ignorance and belligerence are the mode of the day. Civility has taken a back seat.

Meh, please point me to a good explanation for it or else I shall continue to think of it as a stupid term.  What next, calling the people from India Americans?

Would you prefer if they were called "natives" instead of "Indians"?

MMO players don't have the patience to keep writing "native Americans" when playing the game. They'd shorten the term.

Indians were copper colored just like the Indians of India, the so called modern native americans actually originate from siberia and are not the original people of America.  Doesnt it make more sense to enslave the people that were already here instead of getting them from across the Atlantic?

It might surprise you to know people from some parts of northern India prefer to be called "Aryans."

But the Columbus story seems to be verified based on writings he made in order to continue funding of additional expeditions with alternate theories being largely unsupported.

He was being funded to find an alternate route to India, not discover a new continent.

Just read a rant from someone in San Francisco, seems he takes great offense to all names except "First Nations" or "First Tribes" 

I learned quite a bit of interesting info looking up various topics on this discussion.

Supreme Court just ruled this week that the government cannot prohibit issuing trademarks for terms that might be considered racially offensive.

The case was actually related to a singing group founded by a person of Asian heritage who tried to trademark the name "Slant Eyes" for his band.

The Washington Redskins are in the middle of their own legal battle over their trademark and rejoiced over the decision as they feel it will support their case as well.

    Yea, my Grandparents , who are gone now ,would be angry at anything but Cherokee nation , each generation and each Tribe adapts differently ,at the end its about respect ...

Are the devs from europe by any chance? We call them Indians as well in my country, its basically the offical name for native americans around here. There was no need to change it, because there were no indians around to complain about it I guess.

Freedom of speech makes it right. You don't have to like it, and you can show that you don't like it by not supporting organizations that use such words.  However, making laws to prohibit the use of such words is wrong.

That was basically the Supreme Court's viewpoint.  

 They were not giving an opinion whether "slant eyes" was right or wrong, only that the government should not be deciding what speech (or words) were acceptable or not.
