Lainey,
Assumptions are always fraught. Your assumption about the "meaning" of
Indian Red is simply wrong. Indian red is named for a lateritic soil in
India. It isn't racist, and I have American Indian friends who have
expressed disappointment at the historical facts. They also prefer
"American Indian" to "Native American." So, what to do???
