To my (eu-domain) eye the use of "American Indian" instead of "Indian
American" is strange. To mention that "Eskimos have more than X names
for snow" is not done here because of overexposure to the concept, yet
I did it twice today, once comparing it to the number of names French
Europeans have for "maronnes" and now this post.
