Clickety[^] I think the media is blowing this way out of proportion. They are taking the comments of a few wankpots to give your high school geography teacher a bum rap. :-D The article tries to be helpful by pointing out the distance between Saudi Arabia and India is about 3000 miles. As if that's going to make any difference... hehheh.. :laugh:

Also missing the point that not all Arabs are from Saudi Arabia. I was actually quite surprised that the map in the article got the two countries marked correctly. I also wonder what the difference is between an Indian-American and an American-Indian? ;)

I liked the comment on Reddit: "I have no problem with an Indian winning Miss America, at least they were here first."

It is an Americanism. In the USA, an Indian-American is a person with American citizenship (by birth or otherwise) with ancestral connections to India. An American Indian (no hyphen) is a person with American citizenship with ancestral ties to the aboriginal people that were in the USA before the Europeans appeared several centuries ago. HTH
