I've never really thought of it as derogatory either, but thats for a Native American to decide I guess. I've never heard any East Indians get offended from the term Indian either. The World has become much more pc lately so its always wise to choose your words carefully me thinks, but among my friends we just let go of the pc talk and speak openly.
