I figured this would have died out decades if not centuries ago, but as I have recently been doing research on the native Americans, I find several documentaries and articles still referring to them "American Indians" or something similar. This bothers me for several reasons. One, because it makes it more difficult to look up information on them. And two, far more importantly, they're not Indian. They're not even directly related. So why have we not phased that term out? Other misnomers and/or offensive terms have been, so why not this one?
