I suspect there is some etymology with ”indígeno” in Spanish (indigenous in English)… In Latin Spanish I believe they also say “los indios”. Kinda like how “malaria” comes from the Spanish “mal aire” (bad air) which was the explanation the Conquistadores came up with when their compatriots were falling ill in the New World.
Just for fun
Indian = In Dios = of God
Not a bad thing
Accidental compliments still count, no?
