Politically Correctness is a term which denotes language, ideas, policies, and behavior seen as seeking to minimize social and institutional offense in occupational, gender, racial, cultural, sexual orientation, disability, and age-related contexts.
Okay, I get it but what I don't understand is then which is it I'm supposed to use when I'm referring to myself so I don't offend myself or offend others when I refer to myself as Native Canadian/French Canadian. Is my assumption correct? Is calling myself Native Canadian/French Canadian the right Politically Correctness? This can leave many people confused and even a bit frustrated like myself.
When I was younger I was considered an Indian. Yes, I was an Indian way before I knew I had some French Canadian descendants. So I referred to myself as an Indian. Then I come to realize I'm not an Indian because of East Indian's from India. So now what? What am I then?
Then I realized I should be considered as an American Indian...okay, that's fine with me. I'm an American Indian but wait, that's not correct neither...I'm starting to get frustrated for the definition of who I am supposed to be. Am I First Nation? Am I Indigenous? which means "from this land". Am I just considered just "Native"? I'm getting confused or am I Aboriginal? I have no clue on the definition of what is the correct term I am supposed to use about my ancestry.
Can I just say I'm Human? Or do I have to label myself like I'm First Indigenous Native American Indian Asian/Canadian and French Canadian/European From France. I'm a little of this and a little of that. What do I say so I don't offend anyone? It's so complicated so I'll say this: I won't take offense if you call me Native Canadian/French Canadian and please don't take offense because I refer to myself as this. Take care, Peace!!
