Native Americans

That is as pointless a designation as I can think of. "Native" means where one was born. Sure, those folks were born in America,  but so was I, so that makes me as much a Native American as they are. Some of their forebears may have been here before my forebears, but their forebears did not start out here any more than mine did. So there is absolutely nothing exclusive about "native" designation that they can claim.
