The point is clear to many of us.
American Indians are not offended by the term Indians, and usually prefer it to Native American (As someone else pointed out, they often prefer their particual tribe). Native American was a white liberal term applied to them, not one they chose.
The issue is not whether or not the word Indians is offensive, including to American Indians, mostly because it isn't.
