This whole thread is crap. They are referred to Indian Defenses and named after a player from India. The ignorance on this site is astounding. hopefully most of you are aware that chess is widely believed to have originated in India.
There is no political incorrectness here.
Why dosen't someone start a thread about the Polish Defense, or the Italian Opening, or the French Or the
TS is simply a troll, just as 2CQ1, Gerald Suller and few others. They write utter BS like this all the time.
The saddest thing is not that moderators do absolutely nothing to close and delete this idiotic threads, saddest thing is that these trolls do not even try. Their trolling really sucks. It is not original, it is not funny, it is just garbage.

I thought the name "Indian Defenses" refer to Asiatic Indians where, in an early version of chess, the pawns could only move one square on the first move, so defenses where, after 1...Nf6, you only move the pawn one square get an Indian name: 2,,,g6 (King's Indian), 2...d6 (Old Indian), 2...e6 (Nimzo-Indian or Queen's Indian), or 2...b6 (Accelorated Queen's Indian).
Since everyone is a descendant of ape or Adam or your religious belief, calling another a racial slur is just insulting your family.

I recently began employing the King's Native American Defence against the dreadful 1.d4.
I'm posting to complain about the naming of 1e4 e5 2Nc3 nf6 3Bc4 Nxe4
My friend isn't impressed either:

wow, "Indian" in this case refers to people from the country India (the country that may have invented chess) and has nothing to do with native Americans.....by the way I am a little bit (1/16th) native American India and don't take offense, even if you did know what you were talking about
Interesting point.
You are pathetic.
Guys fun fact!
One obtained after hours and hours of chess research. The Indian defences actually originated from the country of India. Meaning that the defences are actually appropriately named, and no further action needs to be taken. Thank you for your cooperation.
Captain Obvious to the rescue!
