Yeah, I would change the name 'Indians' too. It's funny, listening to sports radio in the States you can tell that term doesn't have the same connotation it does here. There's still a lot of people there that don't know any better or think there is nothing wrong with it. We've been taught it's incorrect here in Canada for quite some time. And in being incorrect, it's slowly become pejorative. Or, perhaps more correctly, we've realized it's pejorative.
The funny thing is, it's probably pejorative to TWO ethnic groups. First Nations groups, and actual Indians (or East Indian's as we called them for a long time.)
