I hear you but I think that those of us outside the Americas have an obligation to be clear by not using the word Indian. We would struggle to know the contexts in which it is still appropriate so I think it’s better avoided entirely.
Which I have done since at least my early teens which was long before I would meet Indian people on a daily basis. Which makes the old usage pretty stupid. Same in Italy. It’s not like he is going to be meeting Native Americans all that often.
