You mean that "waiter" is somehow derogatory? I can't believe that it
is. In my collage days I worked parking cars at a Miami Beach night
club. there were a lot of waiters working there and they used to call
themselves "waiters".

By the way, the "Indians" don't call themselves "Native Americans" in
their own language, why should the rest of us?

And if "Native American" is correct why isn't "Scottish American"
correct in mine? And can I sue anyone that refers to me as a WASP?

I was born in America. This makes me a "Native American" as far as I'm
concerned. If that offends anyone, they can take it up with the Great
Spirit.

Yes, most of us are "Native Americans" when you get right down to
brass tacks. In fact the "Native Americans" that people refer to
really weren't the original "Americans" they are as much
Johnny-Come-Lately's as we are and since they gained their position by
slaughtering the previous inhabitants, and in some cases, probably
eating them, I wonder why are we condemned for doing the same to them?
