Then American Indians can be called "Red Indians". Alternatively, "deshis" may be a good term. Or "janta", used on India campuses to mean "people" or "friends". What's nice about "janta" is the friendly "slap-on-the-back" kind of feeling it conveys. And, since it is a Hindi word, it need refer only to Indians. Non-Indians? How about "firangis" or "angrezis"? -dilip. TI/Austin.
