Immigration panic: how the west fell for manufactured rage.
It is an Old World idea. While the colonisers ruled over the colonies – and the slave owners in the New World over the slaves – they also began to find it essential to distinguish themselves from their subject peoples, to hold themselves morally, intellectually and civilisationally superior to them.

Native American name controversy.
(…) the United States government responded by proposing the use of the term "Native American", to recognize the primacy of indigenous peoples' tenure in the nation.
