You’re right, as a group of people they prefer the term American Indian, but I’m not going to go and say “your should ask the Indians about that” because that sounds as stupid as whatever your argument is.
Which was I think about using “native” instead of “indiginous”, which are literally synonyms in the context.
You should ask the natives of the continent about that
They are just earlier migrants :p
That means they had dibs.
They were just sitting in the produce section though.
Edit: Not too many Bojack fans around here I guess.
What if they’re incontinent?
You know the only continent humans are native to is Africa, right?
Indigenous is more correct because that involves the land changing someone, not just something coming from there.
You should ask Native Americans about that
They don’t call themselves that, they call themselves by their individual tribe names…
They’re not one bulk people.

From my first reply:
You might not be aware of every pedantic difference, I didn’t assume anyone would, that’s why I explicitly stated it
Feel free to Google and check my work, but this isn’t an argument someone can win, words have meaning.
