True and it gets confusing as more East Indians come to the US. However 
Native Americans were called Indians for a few centuries. Even the Bureau 
of Indian Affairs never changed its name. 


It's like the National Association for the  Advancement of Colored People.
When it was started in 1909 'colored' was good. Then colored became bad 
and negro became good. Then black. Now we're back to 'people of color'.
