And they should be refered to as:

Just out of curiosity, what term do you prefer Spanish Speaking residents of this continent to use when they refer to English speaking residents of European decent?

In English, we have our own words for Irish-Americans and Italian-Americans and generally have little opinion on what Spanish terms are used (simply because we have a native language other than Spanish). I suspect that those here from peoples that predate Columbus, PREFER their own terms in their own language and have only minor opinions on what ENGLISH terms we use. They are no more monolithic that an Italian-American is the same as an Irish-American.

 

I've always called them American Indians because here in N.C we have a population of Indians (from India) working in Tech around Raleigh/Durham and we also have populations of Indians (from America) in the Western and Southern parts of the state.

Therefore Indians and American Indians.

 

Native American is the highest percentage. That makes sense.

 

I prefer Canada's First Nation. Having been born in New Jersey, I'm a (lower case) native American, even though my ancestors arrived in North America relatively recently. (Of course, some think NJ isn't really part of America. )

 

A comfortable position for someone whose family arrived in the 1650’s and has been in the group governing the land ever since.

For those “hyphenated-Americans” whose grandparents arrived and were refused work because they spoke the wrong language or had the wrong accent, our heritage (all of it) is something more dearly won.

 

My family arrived in about 1715. We were from Wales, but have Irish blood on my grandmothers side and Polish and Scottish on my Mom's side. We call ourselves American

 

If they live in the USA, Americans

If they live in Canada, Canadians

 

Anything more than 2 generations. Americans

because I said so

 

I have no problem with hyphenations. I just do not know why people need them.

 

From the webpage:

"When asked their preference of identifiers for Native Americans, most people chose “Native American,” including people who identified as American Indian or Alaska Natives."

However, per webpage chart:
46% No preference. 37% Native American.

Correction:
When asked their preference of identifiers for Native Americans, the highest percentage (nearly half) of respondents had NO PREFERENCE.

Also, "most people" should mean, at the very least, greater than 50%.
