    So, there are two Russian soldiers riding a bus during the Soviet occupation of Poland. They're patrolling around to make sure people are where they need to be for curfew in an hour. The bus stops and picks up a Polish guy.

    "Oh, hey, Ivan!" he says.
    "Hi, Jozef," one of the soldiers replies.
    "What's up?"
    "Ehh, not much. Just riding on the bus, patrolling... the usual."
    "Ah."

    And the three of them ride on the bus for about 15 minutes, and then Ivan shoots Jozef. Ivan's comrade looks shocked and says, "What the hell? Why'd you shoot him? It's too early for curfew!"

    "Yeah," said Ivan, "But I know where he lives, and he would have never made it home on time."
    ~~~
    This joke as told by the Polish.

    I only use native american

    never indian

    "American Indian" is the closest thing to accurate blanket term there is. Native American is misleading, since no American is native. Even the Indians came across on the Bering Strait. Ideally, you refer to Indians by their specific tribe. If you can't, or if you need to talk about a whole bunch of 'em American Indian is preferred.

    There was a whole discussion of the matter at an Indian conference about a decade back, with leaders past and present from a bunch of major tribes, anthropolgists, Indian authors - a cool variety of people. I was mainly there to see my aunt and Wilma Mankiller, but it was all really fascinating. Anyway, one of the dudes said (and I paraphrase) "Hey, we should just consider ourselves lucky that Columbus didn't think he'd found the Virgin Islands." We all had a good laugh.

    Also, I thought this thread was gonna be about the singer from INXS.

    If people can't tell from context, they're stupid and you probably shouldn't be talking to them anyway. Also Indian-Americans, African-Americans, Chinese-Americans - there's a pretty standard nomenclature there, and American Indian is clearly different.

    Sorry, I know I'm being pedantic. I get kinda riled about Indian stuff.

    dots and feathers

    I think that as far as what's accurate is concerned, Native American is no more accurate than African American, and so both are just used as to refer to Indians and Blacks without much thought to their accuracy

    Asiatic Indians versus American Indians are the terms usually heard, but even American Indian is misleading because then what do you call an Asiatic Indian who is American? because let's face it, even though "Asian American" is technically correct, when you think "Asian American" you don't think of Indians right away

    so you know

    there's that

    (also to clarify I call African American inaccurate because not all Africans are black, I know two African-born Americans who are white so in their case "African American" is closer to the truth than Caucasian, being that their families has been there for aaaaages)

    I've always figured it's because African-American refers to a specific group of people, that is to say, those descended from slaves from Africa--whereas Africans are people from Africa more recently. With Asians there is no need for such distinction

    A group of nuns are renovating an old church. It's a terribly hot day and their garb is sweltering. The Mother Superior goes off for a moment and thinks hard, consults her years of experience and decides that in lieu of the baking heat and their hot, sweaty work they should undress. Completely.
    As a precaution they bolt the church doors.
    After a while they start to cool down, working naked has certainly not helped their esteem but it has gotten the church fixed up in no time. There is a knock on the door.
    They look around at each other, clothes piled in a corner and panic. The Mother Superior calls for calm and goes to answer it.
    "Yes, hello? Who is there please?"
    "It is I. The blind man"

    She goes back to the group, huddled in the corner now patently aware of their exposed shame.
    "Who is it Mother Superior?"
    "It is the blind man. Perhaps he has come for forgiveness but has not seen the church is in ruin."
    "Clothes or no clothes, it is our duty to aid him in his holy rites."

    The Mother Superior goes back to the door.
    "Blind man?"
    "Yes?"
    "You can come in, just give me a moment to unbolt the door"

    She unlocks the door and the rest of the naked nuns go back to their arduous work.
    The door opens and a man walks in holding a large rolled up bag under one arm.
    "Hey nice tits sister. Now, where are your windows? Got something here that will keep this sun off ya' back"

    Isn't that kind of poor reasoning? Every people came from somewhere else, if you go back far enough (up to a point).

    Not disagreeing with you, since you know more about this than I do, I'm just saying.

    Asians in America are from Asia pretty recently, too

    plenty of families are only third-gen or second-gen

    for instance my cousins were born in Texas even though their parents grew up in Asia, and they certainly don't insist that they be called Asian Americans

    like, I see what you're saying, in that African Americans refer ONLY to those who descended from slaves in Africa, but it just strikes me as a blanket term for everyone who's black in the US

    even people who weren't born in Africa but happen to be black and American are called African American... a friend of a friend is one such individual, and when he fills in those forms people always tell him he checked the wrong box
