You just hit one of my major pet peeves.
*I* am a native American citizen.
I am *NOT*, however, of the American Indian ethnicity!!!
I was _born_ here in the US of A.
_ANYONE_ who was _BORN_ within the territorial limits of the country
of their citizenship is a _NATIVE_ of that country!
As a counter-example:
My mom is a _naturalized_ American;
she was born in _Cuba_,
and later _emigrated_ here.
In case you couldn't tell, I loathe and despise
political correctness.
I consider political correctness to be a form of
intellectual dishonesty.
It was not my intention to cause anger or embarassment,
only to help contribute to the education of the populace
at large.
Thanks,
Franklin
