    This is what the definition of an Indian is: Do you notice how it doesnt say anything about Indians being a race?

    "In·di·an ( P ) Pronunciation Key (nd-n)
    adj.
    Of or relating to India or the East Indies or to their peoples, languages, or cultures.
    Of or relating to any of the Native American peoples except the Eskimos, Aleuts, and Inuits.

    n.
    A native or inhabitant of India or of the East Indies."

      It does to me! And thats how I'm using it. I'm generalizing Indians into one race to say that Pakistanis are Indians. Which they are. They are the same people, just different religions (mostly).

        This relies on geography. Since Pakistan and Indian are next to one another, this definition can apply to Pakistanis too.

          Talk to me. We are not talking about what they look like. ImSoFlyyy said that Amir Khan is Indian, when he isnt because he doesnt fit the dictionary definition of an Indian. Plus Indian is not a race, as you claim.

            No because Amir Khans parents arent "inhabitants of India or the East Indies".

              Khan is Indian. If you want to say he's Pakistani and thats different. Well, thats not bright. They are the same people.

                So just because his parents aren't from India that means he has no Indian blood?

                  Never said that. You must be putting words in my mouth. I wouldnt be able to tell if he had Indian blood unless i looked at his family ancestory.

                      You're not supposed to call people Oriental. Objects are oriental, not people. And Asian is vague. Filipinos are swear are Asian too despite not being attached to the Asian continent.
