Cool, go tell that to the actual people you're talking about, living on actual reservations in the US. They use the term Indian to refer to themselves often, so I'm sure they'd be happy to have you come tell them how idiotic they are.

Oh wait, you are straight up trolling. Nevermind.

Except I was going to reservations yearly for a while. It's usually the old people that's been told all their life that they're called Indians that stick to that term.
It doesn't matter though, you're using the "you disagree with me, so you're a troll!" defense, which pretty much only trolls use. Thanks for outing yourself so early so I can just ignore what you say.

Why would they make a distinction for not thems? If they're generally racist to every other race, it's an us vs them thing, they only need to know if people are an "us" or a "them".

That's true, but you'd think they'd want to make a distinction just so it's not confusing.

calling a native American an Indian isn't racist.

just like calling someone black instead of African American isn't racist.

The second statement makes sense, the first doesn't. Not every black person is African or American, so of course you don't call every black person African American, that'd just be straight up stupid. While Native Americans aren't Indians, except for a few who go through the process of getting themselves naturalized in India.(never heard of anyone doing this, but I'm sure there has been Native Americans who went through this process)
