Stuff like this and the "base" he has created give off pretty harsh trump vibes. Here is a link confirming for those wanting one. Sorry I did not include it originally. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.712106

Is indigenous frowned upon too? I don't want to be rude, but I can't keep up.

[-] neonspool@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

indigenous, aboriginal, and aborigine, mean exactly the same thing. anyone getting offended at any of these word usages probably doesn't know the definiton.

The etymology or aboriginal is basically "comes from away"; kind of Eurocentric. Indigenous means "comes from within a place" etymologically so while it is kind of semantic it's obvious which one is the better choice. Many indigenous people however prefer 'Indian' because it's how First Nations people are referred to in the Indian Act.
