Hmm. Okay, let's test that:

"northern Mexican Indian, member of any of the aboriginal peoples inhabiting northern Mexico."

northern Mexican Indian (people) -- Encyclopedia Britannica

Mexican Indian Tribes and Languages
The above site is called "Mexican Indian Tribes and Languages. One of the books it recommends is called:

Mexico Indian Folk Designs: 252 Motifs from Textiles:
"Art book presenting illustrations of traditional designs from indigenous Mexican tribes."

Indigenous Peoples of Mexico
This site is belongs to Indians.org and is titled "Indigenous Peoples of Mexico."

So, yes, there are Mexican Indians and they themselves consider themselves both Indians and indigenous.

Now, let's look for American Indian:

American Indian College
Here is a website for the American Indian College.

American Indian Center of Chicago
Here's one for the American Indian Center - Chicago

The history of American Indians of North America
Another Indians.org site called "American Indians."

I think we can lay your canards to rest at this point, don't you? Wonderful thing--the internet. Know what's great about it? You can do research BEFORE you run your mouth and then you can keep your big, flat foot out of it. Makes it a lot easier to talk and eat.

I'm sorry but don't expect educated people to believe your racist blanket statements disguised as pseudoscience if you don't at least try to fool them with rhetoric.
Yeah.
