    How about Red Indian? That way you won't get confused with Brown Indians (like me) :-)

    It seems like northern Indians are more olive toned than red. The reddish hue I've seen more in southern tribes, but my exposure is limited to only a few groups. How about NATIVE AMERICANS will be Tan Indians and you can be Brown. :-D

      "at least we Indians are not alone in your book - we now have the Iranians for company." and the rest of the world... Just another reason why the whole world hates America.

        When white people can say they are proud to be "white" (not necessarity hating another group--just saying they have pride) and not have the rest of the world up in arms. You can be proud to be Irish, or British, or American. You can be proud to be Asian or Italian. You just can't be proud to be white.

                        huh? :confused: I asked when can we stop calling someone a Native American (or African American or Irish American or Asian American or [Name any ethnicity] American) and start just calling them American? 75%? 50%? 25%? 1%? What does that have to do with being proud of ones race?

                              Yeah, yeah. You really have all the cliches memorised don't you? What's next, kiwibird - "So's your old man?" Go take a bath, you still smell of ewe-shit. Christ, why am I wasting my time on someone who lives in Australia's vermiform appendix? I have better things to do - like sort socks and clean the litter box.

                                Somehow I imagine they're drawn mainly to the opportunites rather than the people. You guys are not the only ones with the "hordes at the door"

                                    I've been following it via Cricinfo and watching highlights on Youtube. I wish Lee, Ponting and others could have stayed till the finals.

                                      I've been following it via Cricinfo and watching highlights on Youtube. I wish Lee, Ponting and others could have stayed till the finals.

                                      I've seen little bits here and there including Gillies big ton but its hard to get interested when I dont have "my team" to follow. Any idea if Warnies team are still in?

                                        "at least we Indians are not alone in your book - we now have the Iranians for company." and the rest of the world... Just another reason why the whole world hates America.

                                        Even granting that it is indeed true that "the whole world hates America," why would you even imagine that we care? The very premises for the (constant) assertions that "the whole world hates America" ought *also* to tell you people that we simply don't give a damn about what foreigners think. Sheesh!

                                          Yeah, yeah. You really have all the cliches memorised don't you? What's next, kiwibird - "So's your old man?" Go take a bath, you still smell of ewe-shit. Christ, why am I wasting my time on someone who lives in Australia's vermiform appendix? I have better things to do - like sort socks and clean the litter box.
