Between getting banned, Covid and other sudden opportunities, some videos may have taken priority over others. Also, as an unfortunate note, this could very well have been dropped because of his suspension, Grey realized a topic like this was going to get his channel banned. I hope it's the former reasons, but it's hard to be 100% sure.

    "I'm not some kind of modified-American. I'm an American, and I'm an Indian." That's how a Menominee elder explained it to me. The term "Native-American" felt dismissive to him. I taught at a tribal college, and I went to conferences at tribal colleges all over the country, and the only elder I heard speak in favor of "Native American" was a Cherokee elder I saw on TV once. Everyone else who gave an opinion solidly preferred Indian. And yes, it's always ok to ask.

    As a Shawnee "Native American" I honestly don't care, because that's what people have described me as. Hell, I even describe myself as an Indian. I feel like sometimes people try to represent natives as whites. They feel like, "Oh, they don't have the platform" when we really do. I don't find Indian offensive, and I can see why others do, but it feels like white people are being offended for us.

It might be advantageous for us to start referring to the people from the Asian subcontinent by their native Hindi name “bharatiya” and “bharat” and Just re-purposed the word “Indian” to refer to the western hemisphere indigenous people. Either way this is a very confusing conundrum, we could just call native Americans “American Indians”, or ditch the label game entirely.

Not a lot of information seen in this video will likely have any significant relevance to the upcoming series. It's just clarification for the language . If it didn't exist, it'd either end up being a footnote or some people would just be a little distracted by his perceived insensitive language, so Grey would have to clarify via a Reddit comment or something.

      @@InverseAgonist I don't quite see your point. The issue with LGBTQ people is not that the umbrella terms we employ to describe them are too inclusive, but rather that, by definition, they can never be inclusive enough. LGBTQ people are not defined by what they are, but by what they are not. They are non-conforming to Western heteronormative and hegemonic ideas of sexuality and gender. Hence, any acronym we try to make up to describe them will never be able to encompass all identities of the people who see themselves as belonging to that set of persons. 'LGBTIQ+', therefore, is not too inclusive, but still too exclusive. It would be much more preferable if the acronym of descriptors could be done away with and, for example, simply the word 'queer' could be adopted for all such people. Of course, the word 'queer' comes with issues of its own, but it does seem like especially younger people choose to go with this option, perhaps precisely because, as the Indian Americans have, they have appropriated a term originally employed by their oppressors. Do you disagree with that assessment?

    If I find out someone I know or am speaking to is an Indian/Native/Indigenous and it comes up in conversation, I always ask what tribe. Once I know what tribe, I refer to them as being that instead of any of the other generalizations (unless they specify otherwise). Sure, it's a bit uncomfortable when basically asking "how do you want me to refer to your people?", and it can be harder to remember, but they almost always are happy you take the time to learn about them and at the same time, you likely will learn something about their people you never knew before. It's a win/win.

      Context helps a lot. For example, 10% of the people where I live are Native Americans (Sioux, Lakota, Mandan, etc.). However, there are probably only under a hundred people in the state with an Indian background, and our state has hardly anything to do with the country of India at all, besides complaining or joking about it.
      We usually call the various tribes and native people of the area "Natives".

    I grew up 10 miles from an indian reservation. Some of my families land butts right up against the reservation land (and in some cases, the land actually surrounds it. Everyone referred to themselves as "indians". Then I went to college, 150 miles away. Here I took a "native american studies" course. The professor claimed that both "indian" and "native american" are offensive terms, and they should be referred to as "indigenous peoples". I would later date a girl from a town where my professor was from. Nobody called themselves "indigenous peoples". I would later learn my professor got his undergrad and graduate degree from a university 1000 miles away. This video sheds light on something that I learned the hard away. Universities are capable of spreading misinformation and when we continue to spread that misinformation, in attempt to be politically correct based on our understandings of virtue, you can actually end up being harmful, or at the very least, appearing as an idiot.

      "Indigenous peoples" has definitely got to be an Americanism. "Aboriginals" is more common in the rest of former Commonwealth countries. And frankly, "Natives" is simpler and much less pretentious.
      And if the Natives are comfortable with calling themselves Indians, I have no skin in calling them anything other than what they want to be called.
      There is nothing inherently "Indian" or "American" about being a native of this continent. It is a cultural and social construct, thanks to the accident of being on a continent separated and isolated for thousands of years from Eurasia, until about 500 years ago.
