Not sure if it's the same in Mexico but we don't take offense by being call our actual name. Not trying to start a political post, just thought I would share some info.


Mexican culture and social norms are not the same as those NOB. trust me the term is offensive here. ask a mexican!

It's offensive to people who aren't Indians that are called Indians, like any Meztizo or chaparito, it's not offensive to people who are actual Indians, like Seri, Yaqui, Pericu, Guaycura etc. Anyone who is from the land is Indigenous. But yes there has been a historical negative connotation in Mexico to call someone Indio, not anymore.
