Regardless of the dubious nature of the title the OP has a somewhat of a fair point. CCP is treading shady ground and muddling the water between what is acceptable for a F2P game and shady business practices.
EDIT: OP if you feel that strongly about it consult with Sony for bait and switch business practices and ask for a full refund. You didn't make your purchase through CCP you made it through Sony. If it was racist against Native Americans then what about real Indians, like from India... "Indian" was once used by the Europeans as an all-purpose adjective signifying "bogus" or "false," owing to the supposedly low morals of the "red man". Thus you had "Indian summer," false summer late in the year; "Indian corn" and "Indian tea," cheap substitutes for products the original colonists had known back in England; and "Indian giver," someone who gives you something and then takes it back.
Lol, get over it. It is a saying. Indian is a valid reference to native Americans because there is no umbrella term for the various tribes before the modern day "Native American."
I for one reject political correctness. Indians are no more native to the Americas than I am. The word indian is not a pejorative in and of itself. This is especially valid when you look beyond the notion of white people being separate from indians. Most people from the east coast who have a long heritage are part indian. This is especially true (ironically) in the South. Both white and black people are descended from indians. My wife's ancestor is a prominent Creek indian chief. So, no; Indian is not a racist term unless you are using it as a putdown.
If you don't think sniping is the greatest thing everGǪ I will fight you. That's no lie.
