I’ll call them whatever I want.
It's a simple show of respect not to use obsolete terminology. When you say things like this, it does not give me the impression that you respect people who are unlike yourself. I suggest that this is not a look that will win you friends either online or offline.

We call them “First Nations" or “Indigenous” now.
No we don't.
I've been calling them Native Americans but “Indian” isn't derogatory.
ED: I see that saying “I've been calling them Native Americans” could be reworded to sound less offensive to “I use the term Native American” but I wasn't being offensive in the first place so I don't care.
The conversation drifted much too far off topic. Closed to further discussion. Anyone wishing to add something to the original topic can start a new thread to do so.
