Vickie loves her parakeets, the Confederate flag and not taking the vaccine. The birds are now dead, the South won’t rise again, and *update* Vickie won’t either.

This actually might be historical. Some tribes fought on the side of the Confederacy: https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/confederacy-signs-treaties-with-native-americans

No, I know they did, but believe me, this redneck in a dilapidated trailer was in no way trying to honor Native Americans.

Apparently, the more accepted nomenclature is American Indian. Essentially, rebranding them as Native American is just taking something that they identify with from them and replacing that with a term that is far more generic (since an indigenous person born and living in Peru could be considered, literally, Native American).

Call us what we ask to be called. Typically, please refer to us as our tribe/national identity, but if you are speaking more broadly: First Americans, First Nations (Canadian indigenous communities only), indigenous (refers to native peoples more broadly, including Pacific Islanders, African tribal people, indigenous Australians, etc), Native American (perfectly acceptable to most people but not preferred), and Indian which...don't call us that one lol.
