To an extent I think that ethnic lables matter. People born in the United States are all Americans, but ethnicity is not the same. We are all humans but our backgrounds and ancestors are different.We continue to label ourselves because of what someone has or doesn't have. We label based upon the outward appearance and not the real person. Lables can cause bad feelings between people. I believe they should be called what they choose. If the Indians don't like the term Native then they should decide what they want to be called. I feel like the terms American Indian and Native American sound like two different things. I agree with the majority of the Indians who don't want to be called American Indians because they are Americans.
