Yeah, I hate the term east indian too. It makes no sense. WTF is East India? It's just India. There is no east or west India. Canada isn't India, therefore the natives are not indians. Indians are indians.
I guess we just have to live with all these screwed up inaccurate terms from the colonial past.
