I'm not disregarding wishes. I'll call any INDIVIDUAL whatever they want to be called. Groups will be referred to by the most accurate and accepted name. Indians are from India and it's ridiculous to call Native Americans/American Indians that. It's as ridiculous as calling any black person "African American", like when the interviewer insisted on that terminology for Idris Elba, a black British man. That's it. I'm not calling them "Redskins", for example. I'm using a perfectly respectful and accepted term and not one that may or may not be accepted, depending on who you ask, and not one that is literally incorrect.
Edit: There's a person directly below this comment whose relatives hate the term "Indian".
