I knew you linked to that CGP grey video before I clicked since it’s literally the only place I’ve ever seen that claim made.
I find it dubious, since there are many Indians, and some tribes have taken the stance that they don’t like that term.

The problem seems to stem from 'American' being synonymous with the United States, when in a literal sense it means the entire North and South America continents. People will probably know what you mean with context but it can be confusing, so adding on 'Native American' just requires more explaining whenever you bring it up when not among peers.

This is a good point, but I'd also be interested in seeing the opinion of Americans with heritage from India, since using 'Indian' to refer to Native Americans might inconvenience them.
