I see why you felt the need to specify south Asian Indian
Another pretendian exposed. How many are there to be found esp on ethnicelebs. American Indians and First Nations peoples are highly documented in the last 300 years, moreso than any other racial group in the world in this current time period. Should it be this easy to falsely claim they are Indigenous or from one tribal nation who can look them up and confirm they can or (I say a lot) cannot claim them.
