.....so please explain.

 

Redux is on some fool's errand to prove that there is no race of people who are "Indian" and if such a people does exist they should be properly called "South Asian."

 

This is redux's aloo v. potato argument. We cannot call people who are native to the Indian Subcontinent "Indian" (like Guyanese people ancestrally from the Subcontinent who themselves think they are members of the "Indian" race) but they may be permitted to use the term "South Asian." I can just imagine my forebearers leaving "South Asia" to cross the dark waters where they worked hard to protect their "South Asian" identity.

 

Kari, you and I are now South Asian-Guyanese or Guyanese South Asians because that makes redux more comfortable
